Dive-site story
Formed by collapsed limestone caverns over millennia, the Blue Hole at Dwejra Point stands as Gozo's most renowned dive. Starting in a sheltered vertical rock pool carved directly into the shore shelf, divers descend through clear water before passing beneath a wide natural archway out into the open sea. Once outside, routes branch toward the massive submerged boulder field left by the fallen Azure Window, the Coral Gardens shelf, or a vertical fissure known as The Chimney.

Expansive underwater boulder field created by the historic Azure Window collapse
The Chimney swim-through, a tight vertical fissure ascending to shallower reef
