Why dive here
Calypso Cave is a cave dive where divers can encounter dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and sea turtles. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Calypso Cave isn't the biggest show in Gozo, but it offers a genuinely pleasant dive, especially if you’re looking for a relaxed exploration. We usually fin around the cave mouth, where the light plays nicely with the deeper blues. You’ll spot plenty of Painted Combers darting about, and the Wrasse are always curious. Look a little closer and you might catch a Slender Seagrass swaying gently, or even a sleepy Mediterranean Slipper Lobster tucked into a crevice. It’s a good spot for a second dive of the day, or for newer divers getting comfortable in Gozo’s waters.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
