Ċirkewwa

Ċirkewwa is a popular dive area at Malta’s northwest tip, offering a variety of underwater attractions in one zone. It’s famed for the Cirkewwa Arch, a beautiful natural archway starting around 8–10 m depth and sitting about 12 m below the surface. Just beyond the arch, the reef drops off, and divers can find the wreck of the P29 patrol boat – a 52 m long former coast guard vessel scuttled in 2007 as a dive site. The P29 lies upright at ~34 m depth and is easily accessible to Advanced divers, now home to scorpionfish and damselfish. Another wreck, the tugboat Rozi, lies nearby at about 35 m. Ċirkewwa’s combination of shallow reef (great for novices) and deeper wrecks/structures (for advanced divers) makes it a versatile site. You’ll also likely encounter parrotfish, wrasses, and maybe an occasional ray on the sandy patches.
