    CharacterReef dive

    Bengħisa Patch off Comino is one of those sites we always enjoy for a relaxed morning dive. It's a nice easygoing spot, especially when the main channels are busy, usually offering decent visibility. We like to drift over the patch itself, keeping an eye out for the smaller stuff like butterfly blennies darting in and out of the scarlet coral, or the cowfish if you're lucky. It's a gentle dive, good for taking your time, and we've spotted loggerhead turtles cruising by on more than one occasion. If you're after a dive where you can just soak it all in without too much fuss, this fits the bill nicely.
