Latest Malta diver death prompts calls for first-aid postA scuba-diving instructor well-known among the Maltese diving community has died following an incident at the Ċirkewwa shore-site at around 9am on Sunday, 30 June. A Dutch diver died and 17 others were rescued there in March 2024 when strong winds created hazardous exit conditions, resulting in one of Malta’s biggest diver-rescue operations. And last October a 66-year-old British scuba diver died after feeling unwell during a dive at Ċirkewwa. Shortly after Galdes’ death, Malta diving-community website Diving Info was repeating its previous calls for two rooms owned by Transport Malta at Ċirkewwa to be converted into a first-aid centre.
