When conditions are perfect this is a fantastic dive along a narrow canyon that stretches 80m through the headland to open water beyond. Boats constantly whizz overhead, but the wall is so deep, vertical and underhanging for the most part that there is no danger of collision other than at the beginning of the dive and the end, assuming you exit it the same place.

The view as you look out into the deep indigo blue of the open ocean is spectacular. Around the corner to both the right and left there are further vertical fissures in the cliff face which can be explored at all levels and are covered in marine life. These routes out to the left or right of the Inland Sea are not to be missed.

Location:

At Dwejra Point head down to the right to the small enclosed bay in front of the fishing huts and small snack bar.

Access:

From the shore, swim out on the surface then drop down immediately at the corner of the left-hand side to avoid the constant boat traffic carrying tourists through this dramatic headland.

Conditions:

Must be done when the water is cristal clear, as the inner bay silts up completely after heavy rain and this carries on through the water column to the oher side of the headland, making diving conditions near impossible.
