The lyrics of a well-known song hail Gozo, the second largest island of the Maltese Archipelago as “a diamond set in the Middle of the Mediterranean”. Gozo traditionally the home of the nymph Calypso, is a veritable jewel for its largely pristine waters and spectacular cliff-bound coast, rendering it an ideal location for deep sea diving and fishing. Veritably Calypso’s isle has many enchanting charms, not least being its plethora of hidden coves and mysterious caves where balmy waters are a haven for such local species as schools of bream, groupers and not excluding an occasional sea horse.
When you dive beneath Gozo’s gentle waves you enter a magical fairyland which embraces your senses completely. The submarine caverns and crevices, which stud Gozo’s coastline, are unique in the Middle Sea, enhanced by the shimmering light of a benign sun, which penetrates their deep recesses. Visibility is never less that thirty meters all year round, rendering every dive an experience to be savored and repeated. Added to these assets one can note the wrecks of a ship and a tanker which more adventurous divers can explore. Lastly, Comino island, which completes the archipelago and is only a boat- ride away from Gozo, has similar and even more spectacular charms to offer: vertical cliffs, underwater caverns, mysterious caves which centuries past were the nests for pirates preying on voyagers crossing a lissome Nereid displaying her naked charms than a weather-beaten but ruthless corsair intent on robbing you of your freedom!
Come to Gozo’s submarine wonderland. Forget the daily grind of your existence. Leave your worries behind and sample what this island has to offer beneath its ‘wine dark’ waters.

Nearest Dive Site details
Mgarr IX-Xini
Location: At the Mgarr ix-Xini inlet
Maximum depth: 14m (47ft)
A very popular photographic site. Two interesting caves lie ten meters apart about 100m along the right-hand wall in 14m. Inside both caves one can surface. This is a great experience. The sheltered valley and shallow depths make this site very popular for night dives. At night you may see the sea horse floating in mid-water.
