Get to know the place

Use the alternative names Ta Lenk and Għar il-Qamħ when arranging the dive. The reference identifies the position and site depths but does not provide a detailed land approach.

What to see

  • A named cave coast — The Cave of Wheat / Għar il-Qamħ name helps identify this north-Gozo feature.
  • Reef and wall setting — The source lists both interests alongside caves.
  • A distinct local site — Use the specific reference point to distinguish it from nearby Cathedral Cave.

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

THE WAY IN

Map reference: 36.0818° N, 14.2311° E · Exact.

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.
