Malta.......January?

[ScubaBaby]

Advice....in need!

Belushi has a friend whos organising a dive trip to Malta in January and its a good deal...but....what i need to know is would I get away with a 2-piece 5mm wetsuits or will I have to do the dry-suit scene for this one?

Also, whats the diving like in Malta?
To be honest, anything is better than the UK right now....belushi and i just need to get away...even if it was butlins!

I had read somewhere that the diving wasn't really that good. Can't remember where I read it though.

On the other hand, it used to be a real neat island, many many moons ago. Valetta and Harbour Lights were bustling with activity.

Hope you can go.

To be honest, I wouldnt be going so much for what I can see while diving...just being submerged would be great! And not being here.

I just need to know what I need....drysuit of 10mm of neo. wetsuit?

Didn't mean to get sidetracked by reminiscing.

I am told that the underwater topography is quite spectacular, plenty of caves and stuff, but don't expect much wildlife. 5mm will not be enough in January.

How good a deal and are there any open spots?

My wife and I have been taking about a vacation to that part of the globe......

(don't know if this is the best time... but its worth considering.)

It will be under £400 per person for a weeks trip to Malta in January. The set details arent published yet cause we've only got the info through one of Belushis mates.

The price includes all shore diving, accomodation and tanks and weights. All you need to pay for is food and drink...and if you dont have your gear you'll need to hire it.

I will email/PM you with anymore details I get!
