Special Features

One of the best dive sites that the Maltese Islands have to offer: Lantern Point, the southwesternmost point of the island of Comino.

The dive starts at a plateau at 6 m, goes into a steep drop-off passage and an L-shaped tunnel (which becomes a bit narrow in parts) and ends in a cave at 16 m.

Under the reef around the cave, giant rocks form impressive structures, from where those of you who want to go deeper will find another imposing cliff that drops to 50 m.

This hair-raising dive is certainly not for the faint of heart, but for those who love a little thrill, it is definitely a must!
