Why dive here
Ċirkewwa Arch Dive Site is a cave dive where divers can encounter dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and sea turtles. Water ranges 16-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Ċirkewwa Arch is often one of the first sites we recommend in Malta if you're looking for something a bit different than a straight wall dive. It’s more of an overhang, really, dropping down to a sandy bottom around 15 metres. You can swim through the arch, which is a neat experience, especially when the light filters in just right. On the top, we’ve often spotted dusky groupers lurking, and the rocky crevices below shelter plenty of Mediterranean slipper lobsters and ornate wrasse. It’s a pretty easy dive, suitable for most open-water divers, and a solid choice if you want to explore something with a bit of a structural element to it.
