Um El Faroud.... At Night !!

1 Jul 2012 - 1 Jul 2012

You enter the water at Wied Iz-Zurrieq (Blue Grotto). We made our way out to the wreck and it emerged from the darkness as our torches illuminated the funnel, from here we headed down inside to the top of the engine room and made our way to the port side of the ship and examined the rooms, along with the slipper lobsters and small sea bream, we emerged at the front of the superstructure and headed to the starboard side of the vessel, a Moray was poking its head out of on of the Pipes on the corridor once at the stern we dropped to the 34 metre level to the Propellor and from here made our way back in towards shore, taking our time along the wall examining the cracks and crevasses for more sea life.

Our safety stop was with free swimming Moray, 3 octopus and over thirty Spanish dancers :)
