Info: this site can be found on the middle Maltese. Island of Camino, on its north side. It’s a very popular site. As there are at least 10 cavern/caves, known which divers can explore. Additionally, there are several swim throws ledges and overall, a vibrant live bottom of grasses and corals.

Dive: first actual boat dive of the trip.And first of this log book. We got on the traditional maltese fishing boat called a Luzzu, that has been modified for diving. It was still brightly, colored and had its eyes of horus painted on the bow to protect us while at sea. That was pretty uneventful if i’m being honest but being shallow kept my desat time low, which is good since I fly tomorrow.
