Billinghurst Cave is one of the longest cave dives in Gozo. Jumping from the cliff near Reqqa Point you can enter the 50 meter long cave which starts at only 3 meter below the surface. Its maximum depth is about 30 meter. Colorful sponges, lace coral, cardinal fish are some of the species you can encounter here. Bring a torch to see them in their full colors. The view of the cave entrance when you see the sunrays coming through the crystal clear blue waters is spectacular.
For more experienced cave divers with the proper equipment it is possible to surface at the very end of the cave. To do that you have to enter another long cave named the Railway Tunnel. There are some open air spaces where you can take a look and breath some 'polluted' air.

Editor: Lars Hemel Have fun breathing underwater, but breathing above water is even more important!
