Azure Reef & Blue Hole - Dwejra - Gozo

Azure Reef & Blue Hole - Dive 1

The Blue Hole in Dwejra, Gozo is one of the most popular dive sites in the Maltese Islands.

The Blue Hole dive site used to overlook the beautiful Azure Window which now has collapsed into the sea adding a new fascinating reef for divers to explore.  

The blue hole starts in a fantastic 10m wide inland sea pool which leads into a large crevice and through to the open sea. Once you start your dive you will see a natural rock arch with clear blue waters that is your doorway leading to the open sea.

After passing the Arch you will swim through the tunnel with very nice rock formations, you will discover fantastic marine life such as parrot fish, Schools of Bream, Moray Eel, Lobster, Octopus and much more.

Heading towards the reef wall you have to swim through a large vertical crack in the reef (The Chimney) starting at 18m and then go up to the coral garden located at 4m. If you do not wish to swim out to the open sea you can turn back and visit the cave at the far end of the Blue Hole.

The Blue Hole is a good dive for all level of divers as there are several depths and routes to choose from. The Blue Hole dive can be followed with the Inland Sea dive.
