About Billinghurst Cave

Billinghurst Cave is a long cavern dive on Gozo’s north coast, known for its extended overhead passage and dramatic light at the entrance. Divers follow a rounded cave route that dips as it goes deeper into the cliff face, making it a focused cavern-style experience rather than a reef tour. The site is reached from shore and is generally described as suitable for experienced divers rather than novices. Plan for proper lighting, buoyancy control, and an overhead environment mindset throughout the dive.
