Specifications:

The Blue Hole near Dwerja Point is probably the most famous dive site in Malta which can be reached after a 200 meter hard walk down the rocky shore. The Blue Hole is a natural rock formation created by wind and water. Nowadays it has some of the most beautiful colors of blue and azure in it. In fact it is just an opening in the land that divers use to safely enter and exit the sea. It is about ten meters wide and five meters across but gives way to the open sea at nine meters deep once underwater.

There is a large cave at the bottom of the hole and some interesting vertical walls. When you go left you will come across Crack Cave, a chimney that rises from 20 to 9 meters and exits in an area which is called the garden. Rocks make it a sheltered dive site which is often dived in the afternoon when winds start to pick up and other dive sites become more and more inaccessible.
