Diving to a depth of 25 meters, in a unique site in the world, the Blue Hole.
A team from TF1’s 20H has put on its suit to help you discover Malta in a different light.
It all begins with an inspiration, deep within oneself, to face a dizzying vertical cave. Dive head down along the dark walls, the water is translucent, without waves or swirls, and take a break, at a depth of 25 meters. Close your eyes for long seconds, a paradise for freedivers.
Sergi Lopez trains there every week. It’s his oxygen bubble. “For me, it’s an inner journey, nothing exists anymore,” he confides in the TF1 8 p.m. video at the top of this article. It’s a unique place. To get there, you must first walk more than ten minutes on extremely sharp limestone rocks. This vertical blue cave has a name, the Blue Hole. Located by the sea, it is permanently protected by a natural rock barrier.
Manuel Morvan is French. Diving there can sometimes be dangerous. To understand this Blue Hole, we dive inside with it and observe the walls in the light of our torches. This hole was formed during the ice age. At that time, sea levels were much lower than today. The rock was eroded over 40 million years by rainwater runoff, and today the sea has filled it all up.
