Gozo's Top Diving Spots

Gozo offers diverse dive sites including the Blue Hole's natural chimney and the scuttled ferries MV Karwela, MV Cominoland, and MV Xlendi off the Xatt l-Aħmar coast. Divers can explore the deep caverns of Billinghurst Cave or the seahorse habitats in the sheltered Mġarr ix-Xini bay. Professional dive centers in Marsalforn and Xlendi provide access to these shore and boat-accessible locations, ranging from shallow training bays to technical deep-water pinnacles like Ras il-Ħobż.
