About Dawra Tas-Sanap

Dawra Tas-Sanap is a sheltered Gozo boat dive with a shallow reef, a natural arch, a cavern, and a steep wall that gives the site a lot of shape. It is a good choice for photographers and divers who like colorful reef growth, boulders, and the feeling of working along a headland rather than making a straight out-and-back pass. The dive is easy to enjoy, but the cavern and cliff face still reward careful buoyancy and attention to surge.
