ARSIA
Why dive here
ARSIA is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and sea turtles. Water ranges 16-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Arsia, off Gozo's coast, is a shallow wreck, only 6m deep, making it a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a longer bottom time. The site is an old fishing vessel, now broken up and scattered across the seabed. You'll find moray eels and octopus hiding in the crevices, with schools of damselfish flitting over the remaining metalwork. It’s an easy dive, often combined with others nearby.
