Reef Dive, Ghar Lapsi, Malta
Ghar Lapsi is located in Siggiewi, which is located down the south coast of Malta right next door to Zurrieq. Ghar Lapsi is one of the few places where you can enter the water from the shore and is a relaxing and easy, shallow dive site. The beautiful reef dive also offers a 40-meter long tunnel at the beginning or end of your dive. Once exiting the tunnel at the start of your dive, you will come out along the reef and within 10m is the sandbed where you can find stingrays, flying gurnards, octopus, and many more small marine life.
Because of the steep steps down to the water's edge, the entry/exit point can be tricky. Ghar Lapsi is a very beautiful, scenic place for swimming and snorkeling too.
The Tunnel
You will start your dive going threw a shallow tunnel. The depth of the tunnel remains between 4 to 5 meters. The length is about 40m long. Threw the tunnel, there are many exit points with a lot of light peaking through all the crevices and brightening up the entire tunnel, so no torch would be needed!
Experience Needed
You must be certified to dive to a depth of 18 meters to dive this site. We would also recommend Nitrox Diver.
