#Diving - The Times of Malta reports that an Irish diver was rescued off the Mediterranean island in rough seas yesterday (Tuesday 2 October).
The operation at the Wied il-Mielah Window was one of two separate rescues by the Armed Forces of Malta yesterday, as four other foreign divers were retrieved in the Wied il-Ghasri area.
Malta was subject to floods after sudden storm conditions brought a torrential downpour yesterday afternoon.
