Section 1- Reading comprehension

The Maltese Islands
The Maltese Islands are situated in the Mediterranean Sea. They consist of Malta, Gozo and
Comino. The Maltese are one of the oldest civilizations in the Mediterranean. The population is
around 350.000 and the official languages are Maltese and English, with most of people also
fluent in Italian.
In spite of the islands small size, they offer a variety of settings, seaside resorts, inland towns
and rural locations. In most places, a rich variety of history and culture can be found.
Swimmers are well rewarded in the Maltese islands, with good sea quality, bathing areas
relatively accessible from most parts and no tides.
The Maltese Archipelago is a real paradise for divers. Apart from other positive aspects, one of
the most important is that the Maltese Islands are an all-year-round centre for the diver. Even in
severe winter, the sea temperature never drops below 13C. The climate and duration of sunshine
at that time of year are similar to an average north European summer and this has the advantage
that many species of fish move to slightly warmer waters. As they are not disturbed by swimmers
during this season, the diver has even better opportunities for observation and photography than
in summer.
If you want to give it a try, it is not necessary to bring along your own equipment for a short
diving visit, as it is possible to hire equipment at reasonable rates.
In places which are difficult to go to, it is more comfortable to dive from a boat, especially as
there is always somebody available for assistance and control of the divers. Beginners and
advanced divers will receive help and assistance from the many schools on the islands, to ensure
that their holiday in Malta is trouble-free and enjoyable. Diver safety is target number one.
