Diving around Gozo

A different side of the island

Gozo is particularly well known for its underwater scenery, with a remarkable variety of reefs, walls, caves, arches, tunnels and wrecks.

The island's compact size also makes it possible to move between different parts of the coast relatively quickly. When conditions are unsuitable on one side of Gozo, another dive site may be only a short journey away.

Our guide is being developed as a practical directory rather than simply a list of the most famous sites. Each dive site will have its own page, photographs, location, access information and useful diving details.
