The Madonna Statue - Cirkewwa

The Madonna Statue is a very popular dive site situated in the northern part of Malta.

The Madonna Statue is the ideal diving site to explore during your holiday in Malta as it is suitable for both open water divers and more experienced ones. One of the main attractions of this dive is the Madonna statue which was placed in the sea over 25 years ago by a local dive club at the entrance of a small swim-through at 18m.

The dive starts from the shore with an easy access through a 1m deep pool and offers diving around shallow plateaus of maximum 10m.  More experienced divers can dive off the plateau until around 30m.

The wall has several tunnels as well as two amazing swim-troughs. This dive site is also popular for fantastic night dives. Be prepared to see interesting marine life such as amberjacks, barracuda, and scorpion fish and if you're lucky, you might even see trigger fish.
