nahseb ahjar jaghmlu zoni protteti ghad dghajes milli ghamlu zoni protteti ghas sajd bil harpoon

Translation:

I think it was better if they did protected zones for boats instead of protected zones for spearfishing. (fishfinder)

Sorry to hear this, D was last online 5 days ago http://maltafishingforum.com/talk/index.php?action=profile;u=460 when readin the article in the times I wasnt sure if he was a spearo or a scuba diver let alone a forum member.

Let's be far more careful at sea and wish D a speedy recovery whilst hoping that the injuries sustained are not too bad.

When are the authorites going to begin enforcing speed limits along the coasts? What are they waiting for? Its the same every summer, with nearly all our most frequented areas becoming a No-go zone because some boat/jetski owners don't give a damn who's in the sea. Qawra, Mellieha, Marsalforn and Bahar ic-caghak are the first that come into my mind.

Get well soon D...

Shit guys............
I will try to send letters to all whom i think are responsible for promoting this issue of safety awareness.
I beleive you all beter do same as me, if you wish........
We moan and moan and moan, but that's all........
Come on wake up guys..................

Wish D a full recovery soon. I could have been with him yesterday, since that he sent me a mail telling me he had a couple of days off. I will go to visit him in few hours, and let you know how he is guys.

Last weekend at gozo, a couple of stupid jetski drivers, noticed a bouy, and what they did is a race around this bouy?

?Can you beleive??

Buddhagrass · June 26, 2009, 06:57:36 CET

Oh my god .... what a shock

..... just called Clint D. Visiting him later on.

Granitu · June 26, 2009, 06:57:46 CET

true sea hunter, but the problem lies in abusive renting of jet skies and boats to people who don't know a heck about sea rules or a diver buoy.

so, even if you impose them, it would be in vain since they would still surpass them and come over the zone, especially in the ne winds where a little out would be rough and near shore would be acceptable

When I read 26 and from zurrieq in the times, he was the person who immidieately came to mind. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

I swore that at this time of year I will never swim the North Coast (At a distance) as I always had very close encounters, especially with tourist carriers such as YellowFun, Sun N Fun etc. It would be interesting if we organise ourselfs and get a camera and go to these hot spots. We anchor a buoy at the required distance for boats to stay off shore and film any perpatrators. Then we can actually see if the authorities will do something about it.

Get well soon D.
