Dive Spot Guide•
Lantern Point
Advanced Comino reef-and-cave dive with a chimney.
Scuba DivingBoatAdvanced
Boat dive on Comino with a shallow reef start, a vertical chimney, and a deeper boulder maze. Best for experienced divers who want structure and depth.
About Lantern Point
Lantern Point is one of Comino's classic advanced dives because it combines a shallow reef start with a vertical chimney and a deeper boulder maze. The route suits experienced divers who want a compact island profile with clear structure rather than a long swim. Plan it conservatively when the channel is moving, because the overhead section and deeper exit demand controlled buoyancy and a careful ascent.
