Hallo world, hallo from the lovely island of Malta.
A bit about myself, I am a 54 soon to be 55 year old guy and since moving to Malta last year I have found enjoyment in Freediving, I don´t do the really deep, deep dives as discribed by some here on the forum, I havn´t been able to crack the 20 meter mark, I am not out to break any records, also I don´t think that going really deep is too important, however I do like to glide slowly along the bottom for a while and take photos and video.
As to equipment I have the usual generic mask and tube, Beuchat Mundial One fins, 13 Kilos of lead to help me get down with a nice comfortable bit of positive boyancy, then t-shirt and boxers to stave off the cold, thanks to my (ahem) bioprene I generally splash around in the water for two hours and I can spend a minute to a minute and a half submerged.
In short I am not pushing the envelope and like to keep it relaxed, for now I dive alone and would like to ask if any freedivers from the forum are located on Malta and would fancy going diving for fun and not charge me an arm and a leg for the privliage.
