SWD: Boat Dive – Crocodile Rock
May 28, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm CEST
Weather permitting, and subject to sufficient bookings (we need an absolute minimum of 13 divers), next Sunday Scuba World Divers shall be diving Crocodile Rock, Dwejra. Site is subject to change without notice if weather conditions are not ideal.
We shall be leaving from SOUTH QUAY, CIRKEWWA at 8 o’ clock sharp.
This dive is one of the best Gozo has to offer and is perfect for every level of diver. This crocodile-shaped, low-lying rock lies approximately 150 m offshore between Dwejra Point and Fungus Rock. Commencing from the sheltered side of the rock, we take a westerly direction towards the left of the rock where a natural amphitheatre with near-vertical sides drops towards deeper water, reaching a steep wall directly below the seaward side of the rock.
Continuing around to the right, there are a number of deeply incised fissures inhabited by a variety of marine creatures. The bottom of the wall is littered with huge boulders, an excellent refuge for the many groupers in this area. The marine life in general is very prolific with damselfish, bogue and salema dominating, while barracuda, tuna, dentex, amberjack and obviously groupers are a common sight.

Should the dive be overbooked, we shall have a waiting list and we shall advise those on the waiting list is soon as we have any cancellations.
