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.
The reefs flanking the entrance to Wied iż-Żurrieq, either side of the famous Um El Faroud, are well worth diving in their own right — walls, boulders and little caves in the clear south-coast water Malta is known for. A good option to pair with the tanker, or a relaxed dive when you just want reef and rock rather than steel.
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 East/West Reef Wied? Tell me your certification level and your dates, and I'll plan it with you. No pressure, no hard sell — just a good dive.
