St Peters Pool! with Feel@Home Malta

Went to St Peters Pool on Sunday with the http://www.feelathomemalta.com/ organisation.  They offer the following services:
Events – From time to time we will be organizing day trips, Maltese language lessons, parties, cultural and social events. Join in and you'll never be bored.
Legal support – We have our own lawyer, so if you get into trouble, just give us a call.
Social support – Lonely? Depressed? Not getting used the islanders’ culture and way of life? Don’t worry, we have a qualified counselor and a social worker, who are here to listen, and help.
Any other advice – Need to know where to go and party? Where to learn to drive? How to cook Maltese food? How to apply for a work permit? Whatever it is, if we know, we will help you. If we don’t, we will find out for you. Just call, email, or visit our office.
==========================================

Anyway!  I took this opportunity to do a spot of diving around the area of St Peter's Pool,  which is behind Delimara Power Station near Marsaxlokk.



The sea here is beautiful, crisp and clear!  I did a few practice dives then reached about 8 metres as I drifted out of the pool area.  Aimee came along too, where she snorkelled the surface.

Actually not that many fish around the area, which is probably because of the amount of humans in the water or jumping in like lemmings.


We then had Ftira with a mix of tomatos, green pepper, onion, tomato puree, mayo and tuna!  We all mucked in to prepare the food, and it was divine!  Never tasted food so good!
I would like to mention Pele in this blog, lol.  What a guy!  Swanning around enjoying the views then producing some very impressive technical dives!
Here is Pele in 2008

Here is another good clip of St Peter's Pool when it is a little quieter



After some lower jumps with Chris, we decided to go for the big one.  Felt good!
We then had a BBQ which was brilliant!  Will introduced us to an Egyptian treat - BBQ pineapple rings with chilli!

Awesome day and night had!  It was great to meet these lovely people.  Nationalities of people I met were: German, Australian, Finnish, Maltese, English, Hungarian, Romanian, Egyptian and Russian, Manx (Isle of Man) - Yes, I included myself, although I did not introduce me to myself.  That could be considered weird.  At the previous event the following list can be added - Dutch, Canadian, Polish, Welsh.

If there were any other nationalities that are not included above, which I am sure there are, I did not meet you  :(   Next time I hope!  :)

As you can see, the crowd is diverse and I thoroughly recommend attending events if you enjoy meeting new and interesting people!

Thanks Feel@Home Malta!
