Gozo based, ‘Emergency Response & Rescue Corp’ staff, and volunteers, Dr Matthew Montabello and Mr Etienne Micallef have undergone specialised training in full cave diving and rescue. The training was carried out in Sicily and it was hosted by ISDA (International Scuba Diving Academy).

The project gave the opportunity for the two instructor trainers to acquire new skills in cave rescue, full cave diving and rescue of injured divers in underwater confined spaces.

The initiative is being funded by the European Commission under the Grundtvig in service training managed by the European Union Programmes Agency (EUPA).

This project was made possible thanks to the technical assistance provided by the Malta-EU Steering and Action Committee (MEUSAC) which has assisted us during the planning and design of the project.
