A video uploaded on YouTube could well give an indication of a new (and potentially dangerous) diving platform in Gozo.

In the clip uploaded yesterday, a man identified as Blake Aldridge is seen high-diving off the Wied il-Mielaħ arch, which looks like the ill-fated Azure Window. (Video Youtube Christian Ellul Vincenti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSMiNWV-k8M )

Wied il-Mielaħ, near Għarb, is one of the quietest places in Gozo but concerns have now been voiced that the place could be ruined amid a flurry of visitors.

High risk activities are not infrequent there. The area is popular with rock climbers, and in 2013 a video surfaced showing the rock structure being used as a giant pendulum swing (see below).
