I live here in Malta, and it is by far my favourite wreck. Excellent job filming and storytelling ;)

I dived it with Watercolours twice! Best dives I ever had! This massive ship with its history is impressive!

Nope. ROV / gazillion photos of her plus photogrammetry software to create VR experience would be enough. Edit: That way she would be accessible to everyone not just selected few with pockets deep enough to support diving hobby.
Despite not having the best visibility....it looks like an absolutely beautiful location to dive. Fantastic video!😊

Thank you! I hear the visibility can be unreal on a good day. I'll have to pay another visit!
Correction: diving then El Faroud does not require technical diving. Depth certificate(40m is better).
Awesome clip

@@DiveSAGA I really want to see the entry and exit. When I saw the conditions at the entry, I thought you would call the dive. That was intense! I really appreciate what you said about calling it go or no-go. For me that would have been a no-go for sure.

At 3:37 it is mentioned that the water temperature is 7 degrees Celsius or 44 degrees Fahrenheit, that is way too low and I assume that is a mistake? I don't think the water in Malta gets much colder then 14 degrees Celsius or 58 degrees Fahrenheit.

That is a great remark. It's actually an editing mistake. I always triple check the episodes and still sometimes things slip by 😮💨 Thank you for the observation!

It does feel eerie indeed! Although it could also be your choice of background music 😅

Fun fact: during the actual dive I didn't hear background music and it was still eerie! 😄
Is it your favorite wreck now, or is the Halliburton still at number 1? 😄
