    The Big Bear-Little Bear dive site, tucked away in Gozo, offers a quiet exploration for those looking for a relaxed dive. We’ve found it’s usually pretty sheltered, making for calm conditions even when other spots are choppy. Keep an eye out for the Dusky groupers that often lurk in the crevices, and we’ve spotted Mediterranean slipper lobsters tucked under ledges too. It’s a nice option for a second dive or if you want to take your time looking for smaller stuff like the vivid Sunset cup corals.
