    Fortizza Reef, off Comino, offers a straightforward dive along a rocky reef face. You'll find plenty of Mediterranean wrasse and smaller schooling fish, often with octopus tucked into the crevices. It’s a decent option for a second dive or for newer divers looking for relaxed conditions and typical island marine life. We've found the visibility here to be reliably good on most days, making for an easy drift.
