Dive 30, Mgarr Ix Xini, Gozo, Malta, 21/09/2005

In 12:19, dive time 66 minutes, max depth 17 metres.

Swam on surface until above cave, then dropped down - & noticed the button inflator missing! Found it & spring on sandy bottom, but could not re-insert it (later discovered it's epoxy resined in). So had to inflate by mouth & continue carefully. Into first cave, then around to second & ledges. Lots of the same fish as yesterday, but fun. Ran low on air on return. Sara gave me her secondary to buddy breath for a while near end of dive, instead of us all ending early. Giant stride entry, ladder exit. Large fan worm. Umbrella! Octopus hiding in rock. Borrowed BCD for next 2 dives. Lots of small jellyfish. With Sara, Guy, Derek & Indie.
