Dive-site story
Sheltered beneath the sheer limestone cliffs on the western coast of Comino, this calm bay features a sandy seabed interspersed with posidonia seagrass meadows, large boulders, and a network of shallow caverns. Natural light penetrates deep into the swim-throughs, illuminating walls covered in sponge colonies and bryozoans. The location is frequently utilized for training dives, relaxed second dives, and night diving.
Submerged tunnel cutting straight through the headland with bright ambient light at both exits
Expansive sandy flats where flatfish, flying gurnards, and stingrays forage
Protected, calm waters shielded from swell along steep limestone cliff walls
