The Cirkewwa Arch is not often dived as many divers prefer diving the Rozy tugboat or the statue of the Madonna. It is actually a cavern which has long since collapsed leaving this spectacular arch as a result. The arch stands just before the drop-off in a depth of 18 meters rising all the way up to 6 meter below the surface. Divers often start at the protective reef nearby which is full of algae and posidonia. Pelagic species such as tuna, jacks and barracudas are often encountered floating in the current and picking their next victims. Diving along this wall you might even see divers coming back from the Rozy as all the dive sites here share this wall.
