Lifeguading service will start near end of june. It doesn't depend on the lifeguards when they start, but from higher authority.

Next to Blue lagoon it has become imperative to have an emergency helipad, and in the peak summer times AFM should station one Helicopter over there, to serve that area within 5 mins reach of Gozo hospital, not every time they have to fly from Luqa wasting precious minutes, also serving Mellieha Bay area as we had many require medivac cases that happen in these popular crowded beaches!!!!!

Yes I got the 'tourist' bit wrong. I reread the article and the deceased was a resident in Malta. Still a terrible tragedy, what was supposed to be a fun day turned into a nightmare.

Any reason why a tourist and national attraction of this level does not have a first aid team on location? Does the government need the opposition to point this out to them as well before anything is done?

Considering the amount of tourists and locals who visit the blue lagoon during the summer season would it not be a good idea to put a lifeguard station there with a defibrillator and other life saving equipment?

What a terrible loss of life. A tourist enjoying the sun and sea and he loses tragically his life. Beda kmieni milli jidher is-sajf din is-sena. Ha naraw xinhu gej f'Lulju........Alla henn ghalina and give us a cool summer.
