Lantern Point West Dive Site - Comino

Lantern Point West gives you a proper taste of Comino diving, often with a relaxed vibe. We typically drop onto a rocky reef, then descend along a wall that’s home to plenty of Mediterranean slipper lobsters and dusky groupers tucked into crevices. Keep an eye out for the vibrant orange of sunset cup corals clinging to the rock face, and sometimes you’ll spot a marbled spinefoot cruising past. It’s a good choice for a second dive of the day, gentle enough for those who appreciate a slower pace and just want to observe.
