A Christmas tree was erected underwater last weekend to raise funds for L-Istrina. Th initiative, organised by Calypso Sub Aqua Club (CSAC) and Dive Systems, helped raise about €1,200 for the campaign.

Over 90 divers equipped with baubles, light-sticks and other decorations braved the cold and dived in to decorate the tree.

“The turnout definitely exceed-ed our expectations,” said Dive Systems Managing Director Simon Sciberras.

Mario Azzopardi from CSAC said he was also very pleased with the turnout and the support the diving community has shown.
