Middle Finger is a dramatic south-Gozo pinnacle with a rock needle, blue-water wall, and pockets of shelter in the current shadow. The site feels more like a precision loop around exposed structure than a long swim, so trim buoyancy and turn pressure matter more than distance. It suits experienced divers who are happy with current, open water, and a boat-first plan.
