Why dive here
South Reef is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and sea turtles. Water ranges 16-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
South Reef, off Comino, offers a straightforward dive with a gentle slope into deeper water. You'll find scattered coral patches and plenty of Mediterranean reef fish like damselfish and wrasse flitting between the rocks. It’s a good spot for a relaxed second dive or for divers getting comfortable with open water. Visibility is generally solid, making it easy to just cruise along.
