About Zurrieq Cave
Zurrieq Cave is a reef-and-cave dive in the Wied iż-Żurrieq area, with a mixed profile of drop-offs, ledges, gullies, boulders, and small overhead sections. The west reef runs over rock and seagrass beside two cave features, so the route rewards slow planning and solid buoyancy. It suits confident divers, especially when water movement or boat activity picks up.
