Scuba Diving in Malta is considered the best diving in the Mediterranean. The Maltese islands are blessed with warm temperatures, even in winter, clear, unpolluted seas, with visibility underwater in excess of thirty metres. Hundreds of kilometres of coastline, many of which are still unexplored, make the Maltese archipelago a favourite with adventurous divers.

Ras In-Newwiela

Ras in-Newwiela next to Ta Cenc cliffs. History has it that in 1551, Dragut carried most of the Gozitans to slavery from this point.  This little headland is at the most southerly point of the Island of Gozo, situated 1 km to the west of Mgarr Ix-Xini.  Along the coastline here the vertical cliffs plunge into the clear blue sea and below the surface there are interesting drop offs and large algae covered boulders to explore.  A fantastic place to keep a look out for large groupers.  Just a short distance away from the cliffs (Wall) the seabed drops to 100 metres plus.  Good buoyancy is a must to be able to explore this dramatic reef.  Marine life is abundant.
