Dive-site story
Situated at the northernmost promontory of mainland Malta, L'Ahrax Point offers rugged limestone underwater scenery marked by gullies, shallow caves, and boulder-strewn seabed. Divers often explore the perimeter walls and swim-throughs before heading towards the sandy floor that borders the open channel facing Comino.
Extensive system of crevices, overhangs, and natural swim-throughs carved into the cliff base
Proximity to the open-roof cavern formation known locally as the Coral Lagoon
Clear channel visibility with frequent pelagic visitors passing between Malta and Comino
Location

Seasonality
Calmer seas and warmer water during late spring through autumn offer the safest access around the headland.
