Snorkeling Filfla Isle - in Malta

By permission visit thanks to the Malta Freediving Club. Portraying on video my little moments view of Filfla's shallow surrounding reef. Among numerous boulders crumbling apart, both on the close look up of the vulnerable isle and at sea, with said boulders forming various swim-throughs. Besides snorkeling, there are ample diving opportunities in the area (via permit). Just until 1971 the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force used the island for target practice, and spent cartridges from these bombardments can still be found on Filfla today. Hence the vulnerable state of what used to be a larger scale of an island; where a chapel used to serve also as a refuge for fisherman, and a fresh water valley facing the North side of the isle of which fresh water traces still remain to this day during the rainy months. An uninhabited islet 4.5 kms away from the most southerly point of the Maltese Archipelago. It is flat-topped limestone plateau surrounded by 60-metre high cliffs. Filfla name, is believed to come from 'felfel', the Arabic for a peppercorn. It serves nowadays as a protected nature reserve for birds mostly, besides a unique lizard and snail endemic only to this place and nowhere else.
