    CharacterReef dive

    Bengħisa Reef, tucked away off Comino, offers a pleasant, relaxed dive. We’ve always found it a good spot for a second dive of the day, or if you’re looking for something calm. Descending onto the reef, you'll spot scarlet coral and Mediterranean tapeweed, with plenty of butterfly blennies darting around. Keep an eye out for cowfish, they’re often quite shy, but we’ve had some nice encounters here. It’s a gentle introduction to Comino’s underwater landscape, suitable for newer divers or those who prefer an unhurried exploration.
