Malta’s lost arch is new dive attraction

When life gives you lemons, as they say.

After a period of grief, and even proposals to recreate the feature, it has found a new life as one of Europe’s hottest new sites for divers. The large blocks are impressive underwater sights in their present form, with sheared surfaces, divers say. And, as fish and other marine life begin to make themselves at home there, diving over the  next few years will be a panorama of change.
