Dive 9 of our Malta trip was this brilliant Wreck dive on the MV Cominoland with Gozo Dive, resting off the coast of Xatt l-Aħmar in Gozo, Malta. Before becoming an underwater playground, this 35-meter ship served as a British minelayer in WWII and later as a Captain Morgan cruise ferry. Sunk on purpose in August 2006. Join us on this 38-minute dive down to a maximum depth of 39 metres. We approached the wreck from the starboard side, making our way down towards the stern to take a look at the props. From the stern, we then entered the wreck and spent a few minutes exploring inside before exiting onto the bow and beginning our return to shore.

The Blue Hole, Malta. This was Dive 7 of our Malta trip. 45 minutes with a maximum depth of 40.3 meters

If you’re a sports diver, the Blue Hole is truly a must do dive, a place where the underwater world feels almost otherworldly.

You begin by descending into the Blue Hole before slipping into a small cavern, where sunlight filters down from above, illuminating the water and surrounding rock. It’s a beautiful introduction to what lies ahead.

From there, you venture out beneath where the famous Azure Window once stood, descending to around 40 metres. The arch may have fallen into the sea, but its giant remnants have created a spectacular underwater landscape, with huge blocks of rock forming natural passageways and swim-throughs.

As you begin your ascent, you’ll pass through the chimney, where shafts of sunlight pe*****te the depths like God’s fingers reaching down through the water, illuminating the blue around you. It’s one of those moments that makes you stop, look up and simply take it all in.

Back inside the Blue Hole, you’ll complete your safety stop and any required decompression before making your final ascent. And as you break the surface, remember to watch out for the swimmers above.

The Blue Hole isn’t just a dive, it’s an experience of light, rock, history and the sheer beauty of the underwater world. 🌊🤿
