    CharacterReef dive

    Marsalforn Jetty, right in the heart of Gozo’s northern fishing village, offers a straightforward shore entry perfect for a relaxed dive. We’ve found it’s a great spot to shake off the rust or get back into the water after a break. The sandy bottom gently slopes, giving way to rockier patches, where you’ll often find Mediterranean slipper lobsters tucked away and ornate wrasse flitting between the bushy coral. Keep an eye out for conger eels too, often spotted peeking from crevices. It's a convenient dive, good for an afternoon potter or a night dive to see what comes out after dark.
