Other Dives
Not all of Malta's signature dives are wrecks. Jump to: Blue Hole.
The Blue Hole (Geological Formation)
An ancient natural limestone formation shaped over thousands of years by pounding marine erosion. It originally formed as a massive underwater sea cave. Eventually, the cave's stone ceiling collapsed under its own weight, leaving a perfect circular inland tidal pool open to the sky.
Points of Entry & Exploration PathsDivers enter from the shore via stone steps into a 10-meter wide, 15-meter deep sheltered pool. At 6m depth, you swim forward through a massive natural rock archway to exit into the open ocean. Once outside, you can ascend through "The Chimney" (a vertical rock fissure from 22m up to 5m) or explore the deep wall.
Points of Interest & Unique FactsOne of the most famous natural dive profiles in the Mediterranean. Directly south of the exit arch at 20–28m lies the massive debris field of the Azure Window, the famous limestone arch that structurally failed and collapsed entirely into the sea in 2017.
Marine Life NotesThe sheer vertical wall drops past 60m and is covered in deep-water gorgonian fans, red sponges, and black sea whips. The structure is surrounded by massive clouds of pink and orange anthias fish, making it a stark contrast to the nearby metal wrecks.
