Ras il-Hobz
★★★★☆
(2,371)
Ras il Hobz or the “Middlefinger“ is one of most interesting dives in the south. It is a huge pinnacle going from 9 up to 40+ m. You can dive the pinnacle either from a wall or starting from a shallow bay. The dive site offers breathtaking views but one needs a good buoyancy skills to dive in the blue.
Middlefinger is full of sardines and damsels. Quite often you can spot jacks hunting around. On the wall look for tube worms, scorpionfish and flabellinas.
