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.
