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.
Not to be confused with the deep MV Xlendi wreck, the reef and tunnel at Xlendi Bay is a shallow, easy site — a short tunnel through the rock and a gentle reef of boulders and seagrass. Sheltered and accessible from shore, it's a good training site and a relaxed dive, with the pretty fishing village of Xlendi waiting for you afterwards.
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 Xlendi Reef & Tunnel? Tell me your certification level and your dates, and I'll plan it with you. No pressure, no hard sell — just a good dive.
