North Malta reef dive with easy shallows and wall terrain.
Qawra Point North is a shore-access reef dive on the north side of Qawra Point, with a gentle start over rocky seabed, seagrass and a wall that leads into an arch and broader reef terrain. The shallow start is forgiving, then the route opens into longer reef sections for divers who want to keep following the structure.

Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Use the ladders and walkways carefully, watch footing on the rock, and stay alert for swell at the entry and the deeper drop-off beyond the pool.
Access Restrictions
The path is rocky and sharp in places, and swell can make the basin-to-sea crossing difficult.
Legal Notes
Free access is noted and no permit is listed in the dive guide.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Beginner-friendly shallows lead into wall, arch and deeper reef sections, with crevices and gullies for longer dives.
Freediving
The shallow start and rock-cut pool can suit short breath-hold practice, but the wall, arch and deeper reef are better treated as scuba terrain.
Snorkeling
The headland is also used for swimming and snorkelling, but the north-side reef is better once you want a proper submerged route.
