Georgios Kokovidis: "Diving in Malta and Sicily"
Malta is consistently voted one of the best diving destinations in the World. Crystal clear waters, a wide choice of shore and boat dives at varying depths to suit divers of all abilities. Malta is open for diving all year round with wrecks for all kinds of divers, ranging from shallow WW2 battleships, through mid-depth artificial reefs on cargo vessels, to adventurous aircraft and submarines for the experienced diver.
Sicily, Palermo, Siracusa, Messina and Catania also offer challenging scuba experiences for shipwrecks, breath-taking caves and thrilling ancient remains.
Georgios was certified over 30 years ago. He dove in a wetsuit for the first 10 years, then moved on to a drysuit. He did mostly cold water dives, up to 10 years ago, when he started traveling to warmer destinations. He enjoys large marine life and shipwrecks. He’s certified with TDI Advanced Nitrox / Decompression Procedures, which allows diving to 50 meters.
Please join us for the MetroWest Dive Club's General Meeting for the presentation.

Diving in New England
What is it like to dive New England?
The video below tries to convey a sense of what diving in New England is like; cold water, low vis, and great wildlife. It was produced by William Skelly and the underwater photos in it were taken over the course of five years by Steve Bigelow, Steven Jaques, Robert Landy, and Bobby Joe. (Video subtitles are available.)
iDive New England is the ultimate SCUBA community resource for diving in New England, where you can find dive site info, charter boats, local clubs and shops, regulations and much more.
