First dive in Malta!  Some initial problems with buoyancy and equalization, both minor, but buddy had to abort when she couldn't equalize below 10 meters.   Continued dive and went deep, 18m, with another 10m below us...  awesome sight, great vis.  Saw Madonna in her cave, then went through some large holes in the limestone -- at entrance to 2nd, James spots fireworm at entrance and flicks it out, this with me having no lower leg protection.  Yikes!  But it went nicely.  Not much in the way of unusual sea life (compared to snorkeling), but I did spot a starfish.  A good dive.
