SIRENS
Malta
Sirens is mainly used as a practice and training area for new divers because of its shallow, calm and clear waters and easy entrances and exits. It's also commonly used as a night dive site. Sirens has rocky features covered in weeds and seagrass on a sandy bottom and it's littered with medium sized and small boulders underneath the quay wall which form a perfect habitat for lots of life. Even the experienced diver with an exploring nature will love this place.
Particulars
Enter and leave the water via a sloping path or via the 'historical' pools cut out in the rock which are accessible via stairs. Please make sure not to disturb any diver training sessions being held here.
Warnings
Don't go too far out because of possible small boats entering and leaving the small harbour and bay.
