World Record Diving Malta is an organization
hosting a series of recreational as well as competition diving events on the
Maltese Islands. The main scope behind the organization is to showcase the
sport of diving in Malta whilst also promoting the Maltese Islands as an ideal
destination for divers. Therefore, we endeavor to organize many innovative
events and aim to bring the diving community together as often as possible for
pleasure diving as well as team building.
World Record Diving Malta,
commonly known as WRDMalta, was founded in late 2011. After attempting a number of record dives both
for cold water as well as for warm water, the team involved had evolved into a strong,
dedicated team of motivated individuals working hard together towards a shared
goal whilst proving excellent communication skills and effort between one
another. The team started to become well known for their positive team player
attitude and received much recognition for their record diving events. Therefore
it was agreed that the team should take the next step forward and that
is how World Record Diving Malta was born.
The foundation of our
organization is based on the following five values:
1. Safety:
Role modeling safe diving procedures and striving to set a good example when
doing so.
2. Teamwork:
Encouraging teamwork, communication and collective responsibility towards the
organizations’ objectives.
3. Integrity:
Showing constant drive and motivation to improve performance.
4. Innovation:
Striving to develop new activities whilst continuously improving existing
procedures.
5. Excellence:
Seeking to achieve the highest level of performance in meeting our goals.
These values are based upon our
shared belief that “ In living a life
that honors your highest values, you can achieve unimagined success- rising to
your true potential and experiencing fulfilling at the deepest levels” –
Michael Angier.
The team has worked hard to make
World Record Diving Malta what it is today and even though the organization has
named a director and assistant director, each individual contributes equally
towards our success. Based on the infinite variety of skills and abilities demonstrated
by our members, the team has been split into the following sectors: Safety Diver
Support, Surface Support, IT Support, HR, Marketing & Media Support- all
together known as WRDMalta.
WRDMalta has organized a series of
world record breaking dive events based on saturation and endurance diving and
throughout the past couple of years have received record achievements and
recognition both by Guinness World Records as well as by the Malta National
Records Office. These accomplishments were received for the longest time
endured both in cold water as well as in warm water. The team is now however
looking at broadening our horizons, and with our heads put together, we have
managed to come up with a number of new exciting challenges and records to
attempt in the future, which will surely be followed by even more ideas and
many more events. Furthermore, in order to encourage the diving community to
unite, WRDMalta has also organized other events such as beach clean ups,
recreational boat dives as well as a fun and innovative experience formally
known as ‘Treasure Island’ – an underwater treasure hunt challenge new to the
Maltese diving community.
At World Record Diving Malta, however,
we do not only base our events on physical challenges but also as charitable
goals. For this reason, all of our events have been organized in aid of
charity, having promoted, contributed and encouraged donations in past events
both to local charities such as Dar tal-Providenza as well as to foreign
research campaigns such as The British Psoriasis Foundation and Brain Cancer
Research, and plan to carrying on helping those in need as much as we possibly
can in the not so distant future.
