12/05/2026 | Blue Hole, Dwejra | Resolved | URGENT! Top of 2nd stairs to the Blue Hole in Dwejra is broken in the middle. Diver with heavy gear might be prone of injury/fall in no time! --- Divinginfo.mt update 04/06/2026 -- We are informed that steps have been fixed. | |
29/04/2026 | Billinghurst | Resolved | Handrail still missing! -- divingifo.mt update -- reminders sent multiple times following original report. ====== divinginfo.mt update on 14/09/2026 - handrails replaced==== | |
19/04/2026 | Ghar Lapsi | Open / Current Issue | I understand that storm Harry has battered Ghar Lapsi well and truly, but with Wied iz-Zurrieq being a no-go zone at the moment due to the drainage works, can a safe path and a ladder be established for divers and swimmers to access the water entry just below the ramp leading down to the bay? There are no alternatives otherwise for diving sites between Anchor Bay in the North West and Marsaskala which is bad both for locals and foreigners. | |
19/04/2026 | Inland Sea - Dwejra | Resolved | Still no access steps, still no facilities. --- divinginfo update 30/04/2026 - Steps at Inland sea re-installed. Portaloos installed too. | |

17/04/2026 | Ras Il Hobz | Resolved | Following a report made at the end of January, the handrail at the western entrance of Ras Il Hobz (Gozo) remains broken. This rail is essential for safe entry and exit, as the slipway is covered in algae and becomes sometimes very slippery. Without it, the area poses a safety risk. Please find attached photos for reference. ====== divinginfo.mt update on 14/09/2026 - handrails replaced==== --- -divinginfo.mt update 02/06/2026 - Reminders sent as issue still open., -- divinginfo.mt update 13/06/2026 -- reminders sent multiple times following original report. | |
13/04/2026 | Inland Sea | Resolved | Still no access steps, still no facilities. A very well visited divesite yer round by centers from Gozo And Malta. Divers struggling to go in and out. From risk assessment site - not suitable for most divers due to dangerous access and slippery stones ----divinginfo.mt update - sent reminder to authorities in charge, reminding of issue as this was already reported on 5 April 2026. --- divinginfo update 30/04/2026 - Steps at Inland sea re-installed. Portaloos installed too. | |
06/04/2026 | Xatt L'Ahmar | Resolved | The blue railing at the parking needs definitely replacement. It's there to protect, that no-one is falling down, but it isn't stable enough anymore. Some parts of it already broke down. It's not enough, to put a layer of paint on it as there's not much metal left under the paint. It's very tempting to lean against the railing (what most diver do). Hope it gets replaced before an accident happens. -------divinginfo.mt - forwarded 8/4/2026. ====== divinginfo.mt update on 14/09/2026 - maintenance issues claimed to be resolved==== | |
05/04/2026 | Inland Sea | Resolved | The diving season has fully kicked off, with over 100 divers at Inland Sea today, Easter sunday, yet no steps for safe access and no toilet facilities are provided. It’s easy to imagine where people had to relieve themselves, which is not fair to anyone or the environment. ------- (divinginfo.mt update: alerted Authorities 05/04/2026 via https://www.divinginfo.mt/easter-weekend-woes-sun-graces-the-sky-but-many-ladders-railings-and-basic-facilities-missing/) --- divinginfo update 30/04/2026 - Steps at Inland sea re-installed. Portaloos installed too. | |
05/04/2026 | Ras-Il-Hobz | Resolved | Down part of the “road” where everyone is parking need definitely improvement, holes are becoming bigger and make it more and more difficult to drive and access the site. Last year some dive centers from Gozo filled themselves the potholes with gravel and sand, hopefully this year we will not have to do it ourselves again. ------- (divinginfo.mt update: alerted Authorities 05/04/2026 via https://www.divinginfo.mt/easter-weekend-woes-sun-graces-the-sky-but-many-ladders-railings-and-basic-facilities-missing/) - ====== divinginfo.mt update on 14/09/2026 - maintenance issues claimed to be resolved==== |
