Easy dive site
Slugs Bay is a shallow dive spot in the north of Mellieha Bay with an abundance of life and a natural arch. Slugs Bay is rich in fish and has a beautiful bottom, consisting of rocks, sea grass and sand. Slugs Bay is called after the sea cucumbers that were erroneously called slugs by the English military.
