Get to know the place

The reef top, drop-off and sandy slopes sit at different depths. Ask which section is planned rather than treating the whole reef as one depth band.

What to see

  • Offshore reef top
  • Steep drop-off
  • Deeper sandy slopes

Features and marine-life sightings depend on the agreed route and conditions.

THE WAY IN

Getting there & access

Choose the correct side of Qawra Point

Fra Ben and North Reef are on the northern side; Qawra Bay is on the southeast side. Offshore reef and wreck sites need a separate access plan. Use the individual site point rather than a general Qawra meeting pin.

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.
