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.

Cool video I like the flow and narration. Haven't seen many videos from the Mediterranean. Water looks so clear but I'm used to filming in the Pacific Northwest.

Thank you! On a good day the water in Malta can be absolutely spectacular. Same in our latest episode here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qKyTgNJespnUl3k.html also in Malta!

Correction: diving then El Faroud does not require technical diving. Depth certificate(40m is better).

@@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.

@@scubajuan sadly I have no footage of the entry and the exit. It required all my attention so I didn't want to be distracted with filming

@3:41 no buddy check while you walk towards the water without drysuit inflator attached :) ?

Lol in reality that's probably still like 15-20 minutes before the dive though!

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? 😄

No I think the Zenobia is still my #1 though.
