CIRKEWWA


Situated in the north of the island, this location has long been a favourite dive site among local divers, mainly for its impressive drop-off from eight to thirty metres. The area boasts a picturesque arch and a number of caves.

 

Madonna - Statue

This dive is a shore dive, and starts off from a shallow lagoon. There is a reef which drops down to about 18 metres. Close to this is a small cavern with a statue of the Madonna. This was placed there by the Amphibians Diving club.

 

 
Write up in one of the local news papers covering the event. The 1.2m statue of Our Lady was placed underwater at 17m by the Amphibians Diving Club - St. Paul's Bay in 1987
 

One can find a large number of fire worms covering the rocks, as well as large numbers of cardinal fish. The dive usually ends at the foot of a small arch in the reef wall.


Maximum depth - 25 metres.
