Hondoq Bay
★★★★☆
(610)
Hondoq Bay is a shallow bay on the southeast of Gozo and is ideal for courses and introduction dives. A suitable dive for inexperienced divers. You will find a sandy bottom, water pipeline, and arches to the east. There is a hidden inlet with a small cave to the west. Depth ranges from 5 to 12m.
Sandy bottom hides plenty of creatures from octopuses and cuttlefish to lizardfish, flatfish, and flying gurnards. In the shallows, you can see small crabs and blennies.
