    Sexual Misconduct from an Instructor

    I'm Maltese and believe me if anyone went around groping women he would get into big trouble with his employer and society in general. It is NOT normal behaviour and certainly not tolerated. I get the impression the person is not Maltese but spent some time working here. Every summer we get...

    What a way to go

    The trial just started in Malta of a Captain and Chief Engineer on charges of manslaughter of a commercial diver. It seems he was commissioned to inspect the bottom of the ship, and was in the water doing so, when someone switched on the bow thrusters. I'll leave the rest to the imagination...

    Diver missing in Gozo

    The body of the diver has now been found - the following link describes where the body was found but unfortunately one can only guess at how the diver got in there. Probably jammed in by the action of the pounding waves in the tunnel?? http://www.timesofmalta.com/core/article.php?id=194328
