Xlendi Cave: (Max. Depth: 12 metres)

This could be done as a boat or shore dive. Drive into Xlendi bay and stick to your left-hand side. You have to drive up the big hill in front of you and when you come to the top, park your car there. Here you will notice a flight of steps to the sea. This is where you have to jump in.

You can take a bearing straight out, (or slightly towards the inner part of the bay,) off the jetty to the cliff face ahead of you. Either dive following this bearing or snorkel out to the opposite side. Follow this cliff face towards the open sea and eventually you will come to a large cave that leads all the way under the headland to the next bay. Your return journey could be either on a reciprocal bearing through the cave again, or the divers equipped with enough air could go back round the headland,  which is full of nice flora and fauna.

On the way to this cave and also inside the cave you are likely to find schools of red mullet, cardinal and damsel fish, octopus are not out of the ordinary either here.

This is a shallow dive excellent for all. Please take care here, because of surface traffic.
