Ta Cenc

★★★★☆ (455)

Ta Cenc is a small inlet neighboring with Mgarr ix-Xini Bay in the south. It is mostly a wall dive leading to some deeper boulders and a small cavern at the end. The shallow inlet is full of natural light and beautiful colors. The depths vary between 6m and 25m. Perfect for all levels.

Wrasses, parrotfish, and baby octopuses. Deeper, between the boulders, you may encounter big groupers and giant scorpionfish. Look for schools of sardines in the blue.
