Dive-site story
Located near Dwejra on the western coast of Gozo, Crocodile Rock rises above the surface resembling the snout of a reptile. Beneath the waterline, vertical walls and stepped drop-offs plunge into a field of massive limestone boulders resting on a sand seabed. Divers navigate through fissures, vertical fissures, and deep gullies that harbor Mediterranean fauna sheltered from open-sea swells.
Steep vertical walls dropping past rocky terraces into clear blue water
Expansive boulder field offering crevices for moray eels and groupers
Occasional schools of pelagic predators passing in the open blue
