Why dive here
Lantern Point Dive Site is a wall dive where divers can encounter dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and sea turtles. Water ranges 16-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Lantern Point, off Comino, is a decent enough dive when you’re in the area. We’ve found the real draw here is a swim-through that cuts through the headland, bringing you out on the other side. Inside, the light plays nicely, and it’s a good spot to look for dusky groupers tucked into crevices. Outside, the reef doesn't drop too deep, maybe 20 metres or so, with a mix of bushy coral and plenty of ornate wrasse flitting about. You'll see common spiny lobsters if you look closely. It's a solid choice for a second dive of the day, or if you prefer something less demanding. Just keep an eye on the currents; they can pick up a bit around the point sometimes.
