Winter brought me a Sea Horse!

The weather is starting to match the Scandinavian weather here in Malta.
This couple of days have been very windy with wind up to 15 m/s from the east. It has been very hard to find a good dive site where there is no wind. Where to dive in Malta is depending on the wind ,  luckily Lindsay in the shop is having full knowledge of where we can dive each day. During one of my Open water courses we have been spending the most of the time around Anchor Bay, which is also the bay where the movie  Popeye was recorded.
A nice variety of sand sea grass and boulders full of life. Here it was still heavy wind coming in but the the only dive site that was available.
Some boats were getting crushed against the shore and waves sometimes up to 4 m was what you faced on the other side of the island.





After the confined water training we headed out for our Open Water dive and what do I spot in the end of the dive!
There it was , a "s" shaped sea grass not bigger than a thumb. A sea horse. The sea horse was jumping from one sea grass to the other and was not  affected by the swell at all. I took one by one to show it. It was so fun everyone got very exited and was doing horse sounds under water.
This is definitely a reason why I like diving for a living , you never know what will show up during your dive. The first thing I said when we got back to the shop was of course to tell them about the little sea horse in Anchor Bay. It's like when you were younger and caught Pokemons on your "Game boy color" and everyone had to hear if you caught a really rare Pokemon.


All our room mates are starting to head home and in Wednesday it will just be me and Marika in the apartment. I think it has been working very well with everything, no one has been very annoying, just some dishes from time to time but that problem you can live with. The apartment feels like it gets bigger and bigger. Me and Marika now have to drink all the left over beer and food. We need to structure a proper plan so we don't have to throw away any food and most important no beer waste.
