Anchor Reef

★★★★☆ (453)

Anchor Reef is another fantastic dive site in the north next to Xwejni Bay. It combines wall diving with shallow rock formations full of holes and overhangs to dive through. It is a perfect site for both beginners and more experienced divers as it offers depths between 5m to over 30m.

Look for damselfish, sardines, octopus, rockfish, moray eels, starfish, and schools of sea breams swimming up and down the wall.
