Source-reported site depths, not a recommended dive profile. “+” is open-ended. A qualification label does not qualify a diver for cave or wreck penetration.
Get to know the place
Large boulders, rock passages and caves along the coastal walls provide the main interest. The source lists boat access, separate from Xlendi’s shore-diving platform.
What to see
- The platform — A small upper platform is the starting feature in the source description.
- Boulders down the slope — Large rocks punctuate a reef that continues into deep water.
- Coastal wall caves — Small caves along the wall provide marine-life habitat; overhead access is a separate decision.
Features and marine-life sightings depend on the agreed route and conditions.
THE WAY IN
Getting there & access
Arrange boat access
The site reference lists boat-only access. The map point identifies the dive site offshore, not a place to board. Confirm the departure harbour, transfer and pickup with your dive centre.
Map reference: 36.0333° N, 14.1993° E · Exact. The underwater point is separate from the boat boarding location.
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.
