Filfla - An incredible Malta Diving Experience

In 2015 the Malta Airport Foundation sponsored the production of a documentary about the relatively unknown underwater habitat surrounding the protected island of Filfla. The 30-minute documentary is the latest instalment in a series being produced by an award-winning team for ‘The Panacea Project’ and is intended to promote a message of conservation. The documentary takes viewers closer than they have ever been to the enigmatic island and is significant in light of the fact that Malta’s rich marine environment attracts around 110,000 tourists to experience scuba diving each year. The issue of preserving and protecting this marine habitat is of crucial importance both in terms of our collective heritage and our tourism product.

Filfa was not mistakingly bombed during the war it was relentlessly used for target practice by British and Us planes and warships for some thirty years well after the war

Be proud of our jewel in the centre of the mediterranean

This is a true Treasure that we need to protect at all costs.

Absolutely stunning. Beautiful photography and a real jewel. Bucket list diving beyond a doubt.

Absolutely stunning, such a professional and well shot documentary. Definitely a thumbs up to the video and a subscribe.

[@mauricezammit2392]

Excellent production worth watching.

[@susanhill8332]

Never realised how beautiful this tiny island is. Only seen it in the distance from Dingli Cliffs. What a jewel

[@aquamarinewatersports]

Stunning documentary!

[@brandleesee]

The vocabulary used is very rich. Students should be encouraged to watch this documentary. Schools may wish to screen this during breaks or Geography / Environmental Studies classes.

[@krazyzelda365]

The teacher would probably not put it in full-screen, leave it on 144p, keep the cursor on the taskbar and not close up any annotations or ads.

Excellent film! As someone from Scotland who loves Malta and has visited it 18 times, it's wonderful to see Filfla up close and personal for the first time. I'll look at it with different eyes when I visit again in January 2018. Thank you.

[@2209beata]

I took part in a dive around this island many many years ago with a group from Dive system's in tigne . Absolutely amazing the amount of artillery shells around there . And surprisingly one side was full of sea urchins.

[@ChudyseuszTV]

marvelous !

[@Its_Shaun_the_Sheep]

Nice job! ❤

[@chadley253]

Sublime!

[@xsondx]

Awesome documentary, but it's sad that there wasn't some minutes about sharks. I know Malta Airport wouldn't like to talk about these, but Filfla is the go to spot for sharks in this area, highly interesting island.

[@robertgrech1665]

Thanks for this masterpiece 🤤

[@garysammut4458]

why is this documentary not shared more very nice indeed

[@lawrencegrima3071]

well done I enjoyed watcing

[@tabonejohann]

That chapel was destroyed by bombing not earthquake according to the old people .

[@aleccap5946]

Only been to the 3 main islands, never heard of this place until a friend mentioned she dived here, and there are big sharks there

[@xsondx]

yes, they dont like to admit the sharks, isnt that good for tourism :D

[@Kelly14UK]

One of the worlds' most massive sharks was caught around Filfla early 1987. Alfred Cutajar.

[@carbugnov1952]

he was my neighbour, we used to buy fresh fish from his mother (RIP) more than 50 years ago.

[@Kelly14UK]

@@carbugnov1952 Cheers. Got two postcards on this beast. Wonder what it ate in its years. Glasgow. Mum's from Valletta : )

[@xsondx]

Filfla is the breeding area for sharks in the southern Mediterranean sea. I could watch dozens documentaries about this place.

[@nmansouri1]

Filfla means "Peeper" and Comino is "Cumin" two amazing islands

[@MartinMeli]

you mean "Pepper"

[@stephenb6259]

What is that Farfara island?

[@filipborin555]

What permission would be needed to dive in that area if there any?

[@Yuiiski-]

Where did the remains of the Chapel go? Did it fall into the ocean or something?

[@mankyswan]

it was destroyed in an earthquake in 1856

[@ksenyaarsenevna9007]

Please upload HD quality. Watching in 360p is a disgrace for that beautiful documentary!

[@MaltaAirport]

Hi Ksenya - the documentary is in fact in HD - all you need to do is click on your youtube video settings and make sure you're seeing in full quality. This button is in the settings in the bottom right hand corner :) enjoy

[@J-S-T]

IT IS IN HD, BEFORE ADDING SUCH A COMMENT INFORM YOURSELF BETTER HOW TO USE A COMPUTER!

[@ksenyaarsenevna9007]

Thanks, MaltaAirport. I know how to change quality, but KZbin only offers 360p for me. I guess it has something to do with my Flash version or the video loading with HTML5 player.. but as you confirmed it's actually in HD, I will figure it out.

[@carbugnov1952]

i counted more than 20 different creatures in this documentary. I am sure there are much more.

Amazing documentary. But he did not said that it was bombed by the british army as use it as a target for training. he said that was bombed from many empires. Ridiculous

[@monolith2video]

There are in fact some unexploded bombs of Italian and German aviation on the southern side of the island although majority of the bombs are British.

[@winstoncrane]

Nearly destroyed by the British forces in the 60,s :(

Fantastic footage but I find the narrator and script weirdly written to the point I find myself getting frustrated. It is like the author assumes complete naivety or maybe the target audience is 9-14 year olds. Watching a documentary on filfla I do not expect to have things like what a school of fish are or lots of other silly things explained. Nice job anyway, im sure the kids will love it.

[@MandrillST]

Beautiful video... but Mediterranean is not at the center of the world!!

[@carbugnov1952]

its the only enclosed sea surrounded by three continents, europe, africa and asia. so yes it is geographically the centre of the world.

[@imictfh]

Nice diversity of fish, good overall filming (but pity there was repetition and quite a lot of distortion in places), hated the soundtrack, its just so typical of a home made Maltese diving video... it also overpowers the film .. which is a shame
