Description:
In Maltese language “ghar” means “cave” and actually a cavern system is what divers can expect to see as the highlight of the dive. Starting from the well- sheltered bay, dive leads around the big rock and some large boulders out to the sandy patch. The area between the sand and the reef is covered with Posidonia grass and a variety of algae, grazed on by wrasse, salema and bream.. Swimming to the north along the reef at approximate depth of 6m, divers can see four entrances to the cavern system the nethermost being the largest. The cave has some interesting sponges and bryozoans, translucent shrimps.
Maximum depth: 12m
Conditions: Fairly sheltered but unlivable in strong west and southwest wind when divers can expect reduced visibility and increased surge within the caverns. Best done of the mid day.
Type: Shore Dive.
Minimum diver ability: Novice, Advanced.
