Dive-site story
Located off the rugged southern coastline of Gozo near Ras il-Ħobż, this site centers on a colossal underwater pinnacle rising dramatically from the seabed. Divers descend over a plateau before following the vertical rock column that tapers toward the surface. The topography features deep cracks, sheer vertical drop-offs, and abundant overhangs where marine organisms take shelter from open-water currents.
