Dive 1 - Test Dive and Shake Down

The first dive we did was in Xlendi Bay (pronounced Shlendy) and is a fantastic dive straight of Xlendi. Dive entry from the quay side in teh bay and then swim out to a maximum of 12m across see grasses and limestone rocks forming a criss cross of gulleys.



The rock and peddle sea bed made for great visibility and the sea grass was home lots of eels and rays, although on the whole i have to say the med generally (not just this site) seems devoid of significant sea life......or maybe I've jsut been spoilt living on the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean.

We went back to the same site towards the end of the trip and did a night dive. But more of that later.
