Scuba Diving Cirkewwa, Malta’s Premier Dive Site

When it comes to scuba diving in Malta, Cirkewwa stands out as the island’s most popular and diverse dive site. Located at the northern tip of Malta, near the Gozo ferry terminal, Cirkewwa Marine Park is a protected area teeming with underwater life, stunning topography, and wrecks that appeal to divers of all experience levels.

Cirkewwa is only a few minutes walk from Paradise Bay Resort, making this resort one of the best places to stay on Malta!

Underwater Attractions

What truly sets Cirkewwa apart is the variety of dive sites available from one shore entry point. Here’s what you can expect:

The Rozi Wreck

One of Malta’s most iconic wreck dives, the Rozi is a former tugboat scuttled in 1992 to create an artificial reef. Sitting upright at around 36 metres, the wreck is easily accessible and often surrounded by large schools of fish. It’s a fantastic site for photography and a must for wreck enthusiasts.

The P29 Patrol Boat

Just a short swim from the entry point lies the P29, a former patrol boat scuttled in 2007. This wreck rests at about 34 metres and is known for its impressive structure, open swim-throughs, and the marine life that now calls it home. Both wrecks are excellent training sites for deep and wreck specialties.
