Cirkewwa advanced dive encompasses the deeper reef systems and wall features surrounding Malta's premier diving area at the northern tip of the island. This profile extends beyond the beginner-friendly arch and shallow reef into the complex deep terrain that makes Cirkewwa one of the Mediterranean's most comprehensive diving locations. The deeper sections feature walls dropping into the Comino Channel, with impressive boulder fields, swim-throughs, and overhangs at advanced depths. The proximity to the P-29 and Rozi wrecks means the natural reef benefits from the spillover of marine life concentrated around the artificial structures. Larger species including groupers, amberjack, and barracuda patrol the deeper sections, while the wall supports impressive Mediterranean sponge and false coral growth. The exposed position brings occasional pelagic encounters. The advanced rating reflects the depth, current exposure in the Comino Channel, and complex terrain. Malta's outstanding visibility ensures safe navigation. Cirkewwa's advanced diving completes a site portfolio that caters to every experience level.

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.
