A holiday ended in tragedy for an English family enjoying a scuba diving session in Xwejni Bay, Marsalforn, Gozo after a man and his son found themselves in difficulty at sea and died.
The incident took place at around 1130CEST, just five minutes into the diving session.
The tragedy unfolded before the eyes of the 58-year-old man's wife who is also mother of the 16-year-old boy. The woman attempted to assist the men as soon as they found themselves in difficulty.
Duty Magistrate Dr Micallef Trigona appointed various experts to assist in an inquiry.
An autopsy on both bodies will be held on Thursday.
In turn, a 75-year-old man is on danger list after he found himself in difficulty at sea while swimming in St. Paul’s Bay on Tuesday afternoon.
The man was given first aid treatment on location before being rushed to St. Luke’s Hospital by ambulance, where his health condition was certified to be critical.
Police are investigating both incidents.
