<\/p>\n
Why visit? <\/b>\u00a0Often referred to as one of Europe\u2019s best diving spots, <\/span>Gozo<\/span><\/a> is highly regarded for its warm temperatures and crystalline waters. While you can drive across Malta\u2019s sister island in less than 10 minutes, indulging in its coastal delights takes up more time.<\/span><\/p>\nStart at Dwejra Bay, home to some of the world\u2019s most dramatic rock formations \u2013 the Azure Window was its premier attraction before its collapse in 2017. But that hasn\u2019t deterred divers from flocking to its foamy shores. The Blue Hole and its 10-metre wide sinkhole leading to the open ocean is a great starting point. <\/span><\/p>\nFor something more unique, the Inland Sea is on hand with an 80-metre-long tunnel to explore. And for a spectacle in marine life, Coral Cave flaunts a kaleidoscope of vibrant colours, where you\u2019ll come across Barracuda, Damselfish and Starfish on your journey.<\/span><\/p>\nSuited for?<\/b> Intermediate\/Advanced<\/span><\/p>\nOther diving spots:<\/b><\/p>\n\n- Xlendi Reef \u2013 <\/b>Situated in southwest Gozo, this site caters for both novice and expert divers. The inner reef drops to just 12 metres but the outer reef can plunge as low as 60 metres! You\u2019ll spy an abundance of fish along the way, while the nearby tunnel offers a great introduction to cave diving.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Reqqa Point \u2013 <\/b>Set on the most northerly part of the island, this dive site is one for the seasoned pros. You can dive down as low as 70 metres, meaning you\u2019ll come across plenty of sights along the way. Facing out towards the sea, its chimney provides a truly stunning entry point.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Mgarr ix-Xini \u2013 <\/b>A maximum depth of 14 metres makes this popular for less experienced divers. There\u2019s also a great snorkelling area where everything from octopus and Moray eels can be spotted whilst a cavern plays host to even more sea life \u2013 if you\u2019re lucky, you might spot a seahorse.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\n
Why Visit?<\/b> Set on the<\/span> northernmost part of Malta<\/span><\/a>, this is one of the island\u2019s most visited diving spots. All of its major lures are accessible from the shore, that means no boat rides, so you can just jump in and start exploring.<\/span><\/p>\nA duo of deep wrecks makes up Cirkewwa\u2019s leading attractions. Firstly, there\u2019s P29 \u2013 a former patrol boat that lies just 150 metres away from the bay. Sat upright on the ocean floor at a depth of 34 metres, this vessel invites advanced divers to weave through and explore its interiors. Located nearby is Rozi tugboat, which has been attracting undersea explorers since 1991. <\/span><\/p>\nMeasuring in at around 35 metres in length, there\u2019s plenty to uncover across the different rooms. And with beautiful clear waters and lots of fish life to add to the ambience \u2013 it\u2019s little wonder why these two sites continue to pull in the crowds.<\/span><\/p>\nSuited for? <\/b>Beginner\/Intermediate<\/span><\/p>\nOther diving spots:<\/b><\/p>\n\n- Paradise Bay<\/b> \u2013 A reef dive site is all about diverse rock formations, an abundance of caves and a wealth of swim-throughs \u2013 with so much variety, this is the perfect place for beginners.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Cirkewwa Arch<\/b> \u2013 This natural underwater archway lies 12 metres below the surface. The surrounding reef, \u00a0limestone caves and schools of fish passing means there\u2019s plenty of scenery along the way.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Reef beyond Rozi \u2013 <\/b>If you\u2019re a veteran diver looking for more of a challenge then head north past the Rozi wreck. Plunging to depths of over 40 metres, a myriad of caves, overhangs and sandy bottoms are the reward.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Why visit?<\/b> At just two kilometres long and 1.7 kilometres wide, tiny <\/span>Comino is the land that time forgot.<\/span><\/a> But despite its minute size, where its population can be counted on one hand, this island holds a big reputation amongst divers.<\/span><\/p>\nSituated on the west coast is the world-famous Blue Lagoon.
