Dive-site story
Carved into the rugged limestone coast of Dwejra on Gozo, this world-renowned location combines a vertical geological chimney with an open-ocean underwater playground. Divers descend through a sheltered inland pool before passing under a wide natural archway out into the open Mediterranean. Surrounding the sheer drop-offs lie the colossal fractured monoliths left behind by the collapse of the iconic Azure Window, forming an intricate labyrinth of swim-throughs and crevices.
