Safety Notes
Keep clear navigation and buoyancy in the tunnel, watch for boat traffic when crossing the bay, and avoid pushing conditions after heavy rain or a southwesterly blow.

Local Intel For Xlendi Bay
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Shore diving from the south side reaches a shallow tunnel and reef that works well for beginner training and night dives.
Freedive
Relaxed breath-hold sessions are possible in the shallow bay and tunnel approach, but Xlendi Bay is more naturally a scuba and snorkeling site than a dedicated freedive target.
Snorkel
A strong snorkeling location because the bay is shallow near the beach, easy to reach, and popular for snorkeling on calm days.
