The north coast around Cirkewwa, Marfa and Mellieħa is the gateway to Gozo and Comino and one of Malta’s most popular diving areas. Cirkewwa Reef is famous for its statues, a large archway, swim-throughs and the small ferry wreck MV Cominoland. Nearby Anchor Reef holds a giant 19th-century Admiralty anchor, while L’Ahrax Point and Qawra offer gentle sloping reefs rich in macro life. The area suits all levels and is a hub for boat diving into the channel. The area rewards careful planning and respects Maltese marine-protection rules, offering rewarding diving for a range of Mediterranean experience levels.
