Dive-site story
Situated between the islands of Comino and Cominotto, this sheltered channel features fine white sand, limestone overhangs, and small swim-throughs. The sandy seabed reflects natural sunlight across the bay, creating clear conditions ideal for check-out dives, training sessions, and relaxed second dives. Divers moving away from the shallow center find gentle drop-offs with rocky boulders and patches of Neptune grass.
