Qawra Point

 

This is the southern tip of St. Paul's Bay.  A large Roman anchor was recovered from the sea in this area.  The profile drops slowly at first and the monotony of posidonia meadows gives way to a steep slope to 40 metres.  Here many weird-shaped sponges show their magnificence by the light of a torch.  A large C-shaped cave often inhabited by brown meagre and bream completes this long dive.  The steep slope of the valley continues underwater.  The bottom is strewn with rock which must have been carried there over the centuries.  At the right of the mouth of the valley is a small cave.  The bottom falls to 30 metres plus.  The location comes to its full glory at night as crabs, hidden during the day, venture forth.  

Maximum depth - 50 metres
