About Wied Ir-Raheb
Wied Ir-Raheb is a Gozo cave dive built around a boulder slope that drops into a deep wall and three caves, with the House Cave as the standout feature thanks to its cut-in entry, round exit, and chimney into a small air pocket. It is best treated as a boat-run drift for experienced divers, with clear water, variable current, and a route that rewards careful planning over speed.
