Crocodile Rock and Coral Cave, Gozo

 

The crocodile-shaped rock is just offshore between Dwejra Point and Fungus rock.  It can be reached both by boat or from the rocky shore.  Heading westerly towards the left of the rock, one finds a square shute pointing towards the deeper water, revealing a steep cliff.  The cliff drops vertically down to 38 metres, where the seabed is covered in boulders.  In this area one can see groupers and shoals of salema.  Keeping the cliff-face to the right, one will eventually reach the Coral Cave.  This is a huge semi-circular opening with 20 metres across the sandy bottom, at a depth of around 22 metres.  Within the cave, using a torch, one can see different types of coral sponges, virgin lace, and the quite rare marine goldfish.

Maximum depth - 45 metres
