BIL-FILMAT: Għaddas jeħlisha ħafif wara li dgħajsa għaddiet minn miegħu

🔴 WATCH: Extreme near miss that could have ended with dead diver ⬇️. In this clip (filmed with a wide angle) the friends of the diver, just about to ascend to the surface, can do nothing more than watch in panic while the commercial speedboat passes just a few meters from where the diver later on is seen emerging.The diver is clearly shocked by the near miss and also saying that the boat hit the rock and left a piece of the propeller blade behind. Our Unit, who also monitors the coastline for maritime illegalities, received this video and we were asked for assistance on how to stop this irresponsible behaviour once and for all. We would like to say "before someone dies", but divers have already died in similar scenarios… Way too many! This is NOT a matter of accident, but neglect and carelessness. The law (NtM 003 of 2023) is clear. ‼️Any vessel during closer than 200m from rocky shore can't go faster than 10 knots. In addition, any vessel has to keep a MINIMUM of 100m away from Divers' flag (seen being used in this clip). ⚠️ This incident has been reported to Transport Malta and The Malta Police by the MRU and the vessel has been indentified. We urge the authorities to up the enforcement and make our coastline safer! Not only is this putting human life in danger, their wreckless driving is causing disturbance to the marine life along the shore as well. ‼️ Our Ranger Unit (VO/2443) wishes to put more Rangers on the ground.
