About Reqqa Point

Reqqa Point is a northwest Gozo shore dive with a limestone wall, chimneys, gullies, and overhangs that start in shallow water and drop quickly into a deep profile. The site suits experienced divers who can manage current, exposed swell, and a rocky shore exit. Seasonal ladders, an SMB, and a conservative depth plan matter here, especially when the sea is rough or the wind turns northwesterly.

Local Intel For Reqqa Point

Community notes to help plan your visit.

Scuba Diving

Intermediate-level wall dive to a sandy bottom at about 25 m, with fissures and crevices to explore.

Freediving

Only the shallow edge makes sense for freediving, and only on very calm days; the site is otherwise too deep and current-sensitive.

Snorkeling

Not a casual snorkel site; only the shallow edge is worth considering in calm water, and even then conditions must be checked carefully.
