Dive-site story
Located off the rugged coastline of Comino, Alex's Cave offers an accessible cavern route characterized by wide openings and atmospheric light shafts. Divers enter through a generous archway into an interior chamber where overhead fissures illuminate the cavern floor. The surrounding limestone walls and exterior boulder slopes provide sheltered habitats for Mediterranean marine species, while the sandy seabed outside leads toward scattered reefs.
