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.

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.
