Situated just a short distance from Billinghurst Cave, Reqqa Point in Marsalforn stands as one of Gozo’s premier dive sites. This small, pointed headland, extending approximately 50 meters northward, offers a captivating underwater experience for divers of all skill levels.
Reqqa Point, nestled beneath the village of Żebbug on the most northerly point of Gozo, is renowned for its remarkable underwater topography and vibrant marine life. Despite its susceptibility to heavy seas from prevailing North Westerly winds, this dive site boasts features that cater to divers at every level.
The reef surrounding Reqqa Point teems with life, featuring expansive boulders, submerged chimneys, vertical drop-offs, and an abundance of marine species. The vertical walls, cut by fissures and crevices, create a captivating underwater landscape. Large boulders along the wall serve as shelter for groupers, octopuses, and sizable scorpionfish.
Exploring Reqqa Point reveals additional wonders, such as a chimney on the eastern side descending from 6 meters to 17 meters. To the west lies Shrimps’ Cave, adding further diversity to this exceptional dive site. Despite its popularity, Reqqa Point continues to captivate divers with its dynamic underwater scenery and diverse marine ecosystem, making it a must-visit location on Gozo’s north coast.
