Nine sites across Gozo's coastline. The Blue Hole and Inland Sea tunnel at Dwejra. Four purpose-scuttled wrecks lying side by side at Ghajnsielem. The Reqqa Point drift. The Xlendi wall and tunnel. Gozo offers more variety per kilometre of coast than anywhere else in the Mediterranean.
Gozo day trips with diveshack cover two sites per day. Most divers choose Dwejra (Blue Hole plus Inland Sea) or Ghajnsielem wrecks as their primary pairing. Reqqa Point and the Xlendi sites are offered on request depending on conditions.
A natural limestone pool at Dwejra, connected to open sea through an arch at 6m. Beyond the arch, a wall drops past 60m. One of the Mediterranean's most recognised dive sites.
80-metre tunnel through the Dwejra headland, entering at 3m inside the lagoon and emerging at 26m on open sea. One of Gozo's most distinctive dives — often combined with Blue Hole.
53-metre car and passenger ferry scuttled on 12 August 2006. Lying perfectly upright at 42m with iconic interior staircase and engine room intact. Gozo's signature wreck dive.
80-metre upturned train ferry lying capsized at Ghajnsielem, scuttled 1999. Two propellers at 32m, deepest sections at 45m. The hull stretches across 23m of water column.
34-metre former M-class minelayer converted to passenger ferry, scuttled 12 August 2006. Lying upright at 45m just 60m east of sister wreck MV Karwela. Both visible from one mooring.
60-metre oil tanker scuttled August 2022. Malta's newest major wreck, sitting upright alongside Karwela, Xlendi, and Cominoland. The Mediterranean's most impressive four-wreck cluster.
The Maltese islands' defining drift dive. A vertical wall on Gozo's northwest tip where current sweeps divers past Billinghurst Cave, overhangs, and some of the densest fish life in the archipelago.
70-metre natural tunnel bored through the headland on the north wall of Xlendi Bay. Cracks in the ceiling admit daylight along the full route. Maximum 10m, Open Water accessible.
The south wall of Xlendi Bay — a vertical limestone cliff from 10m dropping beyond 60m into open Gozo water. Overhangs, crevices, and resident grouper at every depth band.
diveshack Gozo day trips include transport from Sliema, the Cirkewwa-Gozo ferry crossing, and a guide who has dived these sites since 1992. You need only your certification card.
MV Karwela, MV Xlendi, MV Cominoland, and MV Hephaestus are all visible from a single mooring at Xatt l-Ahmar. No other Mediterranean location puts four purpose-sunk vessels within 100m of each other.
Reqqa is current-dependent. Our Gozo guides assess conditions at the site before committing the group. If conditions don't suit, we redirect to the best alternative. No wasted dives.
Gozo's most celebrated sites are the Blue Hole and Inland Sea at Dwejra, and the four-wreck cluster at Ghajnsielem: MV Karwela, MV Xlendi, MV Cominoland, and MV Hephaestus. Reqqa Point is the finest drift dive in the Maltese islands.
