RDUM TAL-VIGARJU
Malta
Rdum Tal-Vigarju practically is a wall dive and the dive starts in the location where there is a cave which protrudes out of the water. The sea bed if you head north is covered with boulders, the south side is a wall dive. The sea bed drops off in narrow steps to at least 50 metres and at this depth the sea bed is mainly composed of sand and flat rock. The cave is small with no danger exits if one enters the cave. There is a nice valley which is ideal for decompression stops.
Particulars
The walls are covered with different kind of colourful sponges and plants which make a good home to the smaller species of fish, crabs and other shell fish. Shoals of small silver fish and damsel fish are usually seen swimming above and below the ledge. Lobsters are easily found and fish life is plentiful though groupers and dentex may be hard to spot before they take off.
