This dive site, located in Crystal Lagoon, Malta, offers a unique and beautiful underwater experience. The lagoon is known for its exceptionally clear turquoise water and sheltered location—perfect conditions for diving and snorkeling. Average depths range from 5 to 6 meters with a maximum depth of 8 meters, making it suitable for experienced divers. A notable feature is the presence of two tunnels; one extending 30 meters into the lagoon, starting at 5 meters and descending to 8 meters on the other side, allowing divers to explore around a small headland or turn back towards the lagoon. The second tunnel provides an opportunity for further exploration and includes an overhang. The light entering these tunnels creates a magical underwater environment, ideal for photographers capturing the white sand’s brilliant reflections. This site is accessible by boat only.
