One of the dive sites we run here in Malta — here's the story behind it, the depth and access, and what it takes to dive it properly.
Right beside the Blue Hole at Dwejra, the Coral Gardens is a sloping reef of boulders and hard growth running down into deeper water. It's often dived as the second half of a Blue Hole dive, but it stands on its own — lots of nooks and overhangs, healthy growth, and the superb visibility this stretch of Gozo coast is famous for.
Good news: this site is well within reach of recreational and advanced recreational divers — no technical certification needed to enjoy it. Come and dive it with me, and when you’re ready to push deeper into Malta’s technical sites, here’s where to head next:
Already certified and just want to dive it? Come and explore it with me on open circuit or CCR — one relaxed dive a day, no rushing, as long in the water as you like.
Want to dive Coral Gardens Dwerja? Tell me your certification level and your dates, and I'll plan it with you. No pressure, no hard sell — just a good dive.
