Paradise Bay (Reef)

Paradise Bay Reef runs south from the main Ċirkewwa entry points towards Paradise Bay itself. It is a varied reef dive with rock formations, large boulder fields, patches of sand and seagrass, drop-offs of different heights and several swim-throughs, including a natural rock arch known locally as the Left Arch or White Arch.

Groupers often hang around the boulder fields, and the small caves along the wall are worth a look with a torch. It is a shore dive from the Ċirkewwa platforms, and many divers pass along this reef on the way back from the P29 wreck.

Most of the dive is spent around 10 to 18 metres, though the reef carries on deeper. Watch out for ferry and boat traffic near the harbour, and turn back if you reach the quay of Paradise Bay.
