Atlantis Diving Centre - Gozo

Atlantis Diving Centre in Gozo is a shore dive, straightforward enough for newer divers but with a few interesting corners if you know where to look. It’s pretty sheltered, which makes it a good option when other spots are getting churned up. We've often seen painted combers darting among the rocks, and there are usually some ornate wrasse investigating the seagrass beds. Keep an eye out for a dusky grouper lurking in the shadows, and if you’re lucky, a loggerhead turtle might cruise past, although they’re not a daily occurrence. It's a solid, reliable dive when you just want to get wet without too much fuss.
