Divers below the more than 80 meter high cliffs of San Dimitri, GozoSan Dimitri Point is an area which is famous for its amount of caves. There are still many undiscovered ones, large underwater cave systems which are perfect for the advanced cave divers, but also caves which can are safe enough to be entered by beginners.

San Dimitri Point itself is located off the northwest corner of Gozo, just below the 80 meter high cliff. Anchorage is often done near a shallow plateau at 6 meters from where a boulder covered wall goes down to 30 meters from where it gradually descents well beyond diving limits. Its sea floor is covered in smaller boulders where many fish species are living, eating the reef and each other. This area is only calm with wind coming from the east and currents make sure you will see quite a few barracudas, dentex and other pelagic.
