Five sites on Malta's smallest island. The Blue Lagoon. Santa Marija Caves at 2-10m with year-round crystal clarity. The P31 patrol boat wreck at 7-20m. And the remote walls and reefs of Lantern Point and Cominotto — the least-dived, most dramatic outer-island diving in the Maltese archipelago.
Comino has no cars and one hotel. Its dive sites range from the busy Blue Lagoon to the completely isolated Cominotto Reef with 30m+ visibility. All sites are boat-access. diveshack organises day trips from Sliema.
Malta's most visited dive and snorkel spot. A natural bay with a sandy bottom at 0-14m. Clear enough to read depth gauges from the surface. Posidonia meadows and limestone formations.
52-metre former Maltese Armed Forces patrol vessel upright on white sand between Comino and Cominotto. Scuttled 2009. Through-penetration from stern to bow at 7-20m on Open Water cert.
Sea caves cut into the limestone cliffs of Santa Marija Bay at 2-10m. Light enters from multiple openings. Year-round clarity makes this Comino's most consistently spectacular dive.
Western tip of Comino with cave passages, a dramatic wall, and open reef across two sub-sites: Lighthouse Reef and Inner Lantern Point. Low traffic, exceptional condition.
Five dive sub-sites wrap the perimeter of Malta's most isolated uninhabited islet. Vertical walls, boulder fields, sea caves, and overhangs in open-water visibility regularly exceeding 30m.
The outer Cominotto sites are exposed to open sea. Our guides assess conditions before committing and redirect to Santa Marija Caves or P31 if needed. No wasted boat trip.
Comino lies between Malta and Gozo. A Comino dive in the morning can be combined with a Gozo wreck in the afternoon. diveshack organises multi-island day itineraries on request.
The P31 at 7-20m is one of the most rewarding Open Water-level wreck dives in Malta. An intact patrol vessel with full through-penetration well within OW depth limits. An excellent next step after certification.
Blue Lagoon (0-14m, OW), P31 Patrol Boat (7-20m, OW), Santa Marija Caves (2-10m, OW outer), Lantern Point (20-50m, AOW), and Cominotto Reef (10-50m+, AOW). All are boat-access only.
Yes. The Blue Lagoon is a sandy bay at 0-14m with crystal visibility. Open Water Divers and snorkellers can both enjoy it. Marine life includes posidonia meadows and limestone formations. Popular in summer but calm and clear year-round.
A 52-metre former Maltese Armed Forces patrol vessel lying upright on white sand in the Comino Channel at 7-20m. Scuttled in 2009. Through-penetration from stern to bow is possible on an Open Water cert. One of Malta's most accessible wreck dives.
Santa Marija Caves for clarity and atmosphere at shallow depth. The P31 Patrol Boat for the best OW-accessible wreck. Cominotto Reef for the most dramatic diving — walls, caves, and 30m+ visibility on the open outer reef.
Five sub-sites wrapping Malta's most isolated uninhabited islet. Vertical walls, boulder fields, caves, and overhangs with visibility regularly exceeding 30m. Advanced Open Water required. Low traffic, exceptional condition.
Comino is boat-access only — a short crossing from north Malta. All five dive sites are boat dives. diveshack organises day trips from Sliema with transport and boat included. Comino can be combined with Gozo on the same day on request.
