Ghasri Valley, Gozo

 

Ghasri Valley - (c) Peter G. LemonThis dive site is located between Reqqa Point and Forna Point, on the North coast of Gozo.  Ghasri Valley is a spectacular deep cut which widens as it reaches the sea.  This dive site is also known as the Blue Dome or Cathedral Cave.  This dive is ideal for all levels of divers.  It commences on a shingle beach where the water is shallow, but becomes deeper at a maximum depth of 30 metres. The seabed is covered in anemones, and large boulders covered in algae, sea urchins and starfish.  One can also sea damselfish, seabreams, and scorpionfish, and might even come across a seahorse.  The cave itself is only 5 metres below surface and leads through a domed vault, where one can surface and breathe freely.  The seabed of the cave is covered in boulders, but the most impressive part is the view to the outside ocean.  Towards the end of the valley, at a depth of approximitely 20 metres, one can encounter octopus and groupers.    

Maximum depth - 20 metres
