Reqqa Point or Reqqa Reef is a spectacular steep drop-off that goes well beyond the 40 meter sport diving limits. Getting there from shore is after a small walk across some rocks fully geared up. Be extra careful for the many fishermen that fish here, but also for heavy wind and currents which can make the sea very choppy. The wall is covered in sponges with many of the smaller fish present. Boulders at the wall create perfect living places for groupers, scorpion fishes and octopus. But also pelagic such as dentex and barracuda can be seen hunting near the wall. There are also many smaller overhangs, caves and some spectacular chimneys with one is known to go to 50 meter and deeper. Pay attention to your depth and don’t start to become heroic.
