Gozo Uncovered: The Island Every Diver Needs to Explore
Gozo, a small sister island of Malta, is the Mediterranean’s hidden gem. Although the island is more laid-back than Malta, don’t be fooled by its tranquility – the island offers visitors unforgettable experiences. Besides a picturesque countryside with great wine and dine options, Gozo is a diver’s paradise.
Going Under in Gozo
Last year Gozo was voted the third-best diving destination in the world by one of the region's dive magazines – with good reason. The island’s deep shoreline and variety of caves, tunnels, natural harbors, wrecks, marine and coral life make it a supreme diving location. What’s more is that the warm water surrounding the island is some of the clearest water in the world, with excellent visibility as far down as 30 meters.
The island’s surrounding waters offers an astonishing 50-plus dive sites. These include the famous Blue Hole, Dwerja Point and Fungus Rock. Since the dive sites are within close proximity to one another, divers can anticipate seeing a wide range of underwater scenes. For the more experienced diver, great night-diving options are available where the marine world’s vibrancy is highlighted by torchlight.
Gozo At Night
From sea-side cafes to opera houses to one of the most popular clubs in the Mediterranean, Gozo nightlife offers it all. Local towns, Marsalforn and Xlendi, are known for their small bars and cafes – ideal for unwinding at after-diving outings. For those looking for a more buzzing night out, La Grotta will be the answer. The club is situated in Xlendi Valley and said to be one of Europe’s best outdoor clubs. For a taste of culture, the island has two opera houses in Victoria (Rabat).
