The report 26,000 Times Under Waves For Maltese Dive Teacher (October 22) contains incorrect information. It implies that Joseph Chircop was honoured by PADI for completing 26,000 dives; however, the award he was given was because his diving centre, Scubatech, has been a member of the PADI Retail and Resort Association for 15 years. The presentation of this dive centre award just coincided with his 26,000 dives.
