Easy dive site
The Valley or inlet is the starting and ending point for shore dives in Wied iz-Zurrieq. The shallow inlet is excellent site for night diving and training dives. Lots of marine life on the reefwalls on both sides of the inlet and between the rocks on the bottom.
Particulars
Be aware of the many lost fishing lines that one can find here, don't get entangled. You will also find lots of glass bottles thrown from the cliffs into the sea, the 'future amphoras'.
Warnings
Choppy water can make exiting quite challenging. Watch the boats at the entrance and exit.
