THE WAY IN
Getting there & access
Ċirkewwa shore-diving area
Steps and railings; the chosen water entry varies by site.
- Arrive at the shore-diving area, rather than the ferry boarding terminal.
- Locate the stair-and-railing entry agreed with your dive centre.
- Identify the planned return point before carrying equipment to the water.
A named arrival area, not an exact water entry. Confirm the actual meeting point locally.

Plan for the day you go
Check the current regional wind and sea outlook, then agree the entry, exit, route and required experience with a local operator. Regional forecasts do not measure cave surge, currents, visibility, water quality or closures.
Cave and overhead access requires an on-site assessment and appropriate training and equipment.
