Let us say thank you to Joseph Muscat and comrades. We will soon hear that this result is due to them!!

Let's hope that in these times of pressing economic conditions, let alone competitiveness for every tourist pound/dollar/euro... that Malta's inclusion in this is appropriately promoted, via the MALTA TOURIST AUTHORITY'S pr and marketing agency.... I understand they are German owned... Let's hope they capitalise on this kind of result by issuing press releases and looking for dive sector examples of photographs and so on, to really push for feature articles and the like... Or is that just me, as someone who worked professionally in the industry, hoping beyond hope that Malta will stand up and be counted.

@ A. Abela

Nothing really.

But according to the little elves anything good in Malta these days is contributed to Joseph Muscat.

Finally Malta's Underwater Environment is getting the recognition it deserves. Very few diving destinations in the world can offer such a variety for all underwater interests and experience such as topography and wreck dives both in shallow waters or deeper for technical demand. All dive sites are complimented with the clear blue waters offering reasonable visibility. This recognition in a reputable diving magazines is proof that the marketing that has been done in these last few years is being effective. A lot more needs to be done to justify the beauty of our local underwater experience.

Very positive news, especially for a country that heavily depends on tourism. It is up to US Maltese to keep them clean, safe and accessible. My main concern are the fish farms which have contributed to killing marine life in their vicinities.

At least one section of foreigners recognise the worth of our Islands! Let's hope the rest of the people on this island follow suit and start appreciating our God-given gifts! As a diver who has visited the amazing seas around Egypt, all I can honestly say is that I am immensly lucky to be blessed with living in one of the top diving spots in the workd. Please let's keep it this way if we can't improve it!!
