About Xatt L'Ahmar Reef
Xatt L'Ahmar Reef is Gozo's easy-access wall and bay dive, starting in the shallows beside the shore and sliding down toward boulders and the nearby wreck zone. The upper reef works well for relaxed snorkel-level exploring, while the wall and boulder band add seahorses, morays, octopus, and scorpionfish for slower reef exploration.
