PARADISE BAY
Malta
Paradise Bay is an interesting dive site because of the various depths and the many different underwater sceneries with lots of life. There are a few routes to choose from but they all lead west to the exit, around Round Rock to the Cirkewwa concrete stairs. On your way there you will pass impressive rock formations with names like Valley Way, Chris' Rock, Ben's Arch. There are parking spaces reserved for divers. Always take your diving certificate with you and place it behind your windscreen.
Particulars
Enter the water of Paradise Bay at the quay or at the little cove. Exit the water around the corner at the Cirkewwa concrete stairs. Park your car at the exit point before entering the water.
Warnings
Ask more info on the spot about entrance and exit spots. Be careful, the entrance at the little cove is not an easy one with its sharp and slippery rocks.
