    Xwejni Bay is one of those easy-access shore dives on Gozo, a good choice if you're after a relaxed afternoon. The entry is simple enough, usually calm, leading you into a shallow bay that gently slopes out. You'll often spot ornate wrasse darting around the rocks and common slipper lobsters tucked into crevices. It’s a solid spot for newer divers getting comfortable with their buoyancy, or for a leisurely second dive, though we’ve seen dusky groupers and even loggerheads here on a lucky day.
