Anchor Bay advanced dive explores the deeper reef and wall features of the bay beneath the Popeye Village on Malta's northwest coast. This profile extends beyond the bay's scenic shallows into more demanding terrain at the outer reaches. The deep walls at the bay's entrance feature impressive limestone formations with overhangs, small caves, and complex terrain. The exposed position means current can develop, bringing larger species and creating dynamic conditions that advanced divers find stimulating. Marine life in the deeper sections includes larger groupers, occasional amberjack, and the full range of Mediterranean reef species. The wall supports sponge and false coral growth at depth. The advanced rating reflects the depth and exposure to weather and current. Anchor Bay's advanced dive adds substantial depth to this scenic northwest coast location.

Absolutely stunning dive site. The visibility was exceptional and we spotted several species we had never seen before. Will definitely come back.
Great spot for advanced divers. Currents can be tricky but the marine life makes it worth it.
One of the best dive sites in the region. Highly recommended.
