    CharacterCave dive
    StandoutDramatic cave topography

    Ħondoq ir-Rummien, tucked away on Comino, offers a relaxed dive with a surprising amount to see. We usually drop in from the small sandy beach, swimming out along the rocky wall. It’s got a few small caves and overhangs that are fun to explore, often with resident parrotfish darting through. Keep an eye out for slipper lobsters tucked into crevices; we've even spotted dusky groupers lurking deeper down. The site is pretty sheltered, so it’s a good choice for newer divers or when the wind picks up elsewhere.

    Safety Notes

    Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
