A World Below: Malta
H20 Ocean Underwater Productions has decided to break the mould for documentary-making. For its first DVD on the wrecks of Malta, it has ditched what it perceives to be the 'dull narrative', allowing you to focus on the flowing video images without distraction.
Â?Â?Â?Â? To assist you in this process, all eight of the wrecks visited have their own funky/chill-out soundtracks. You will either warm to this new vision, or hate it and long to be told something about the wrecks as the camera pans around them.
Â?Â?Â?Â? I found myself enjoying the excellent footage and soundtrack to the extent of departing for dreamland, though this was not down to boredom, simply that I had just had a long flight.
Â?Â?Â?Â? I had dived some of the wrecks included, notably the Imperial Eagle, Rozi and Um El Faroud, and the images were clear and bright, allowing me to relive my own diving experiences. A nice bonus was the footage of HMS Stubborn, good enough to keep me happy until I get there on my next trip to Malta.
Â?Â?Â?Â? A lot of the wrecks on the DVD are below 40 and sometimes 50m deep, but only a few of the close-up shots suffered slightly from fuzziness. And if you do want the history of the wrecks, you'll find a paragraph of text and a couple of still images in a separate section of the DVD.
