Aquaventure combines two of the best dives on the Maltese Islands, Alex’s Cave and Comino Caves, as pat of it’s Comino two-dive boat day.
A small island lying between Malta and Gozo, Comino is a short 30-minute luzzu trip (traditional Maltese fishing boat) from Aquaventure and proves popular with divers and snorkellers alike. Alex’s Cave is situated in a secluded bay on the south-west side of the island. Mooring up at a rock formation known as ‘The Mushroom’ divers enter the water to explore the valleys and boulders below. A wall dive, teeming with aquatic life, leads enticingly to the magnificent cavern entrance and as divers switch on their torches the exploration begins. Alex’s Cave is an impressive, dome cavern with fascinating ceiling formations, white sand bottom and splendid light filtration. Divers hovering at the entrance are silhouetted against an impressive backdrop of the blue open sea. For more photo's please click here. |
