Mgarr ix-Xni

Location: A narrow creek below Ta' Cenc cliffs - Mgarr Ix- Xini Facing: South
Type: Boat dive
Max. depth: 30 meters

Entry: The creek is a restricted area and diving is forbidden. A free-standing rock just outside the mouth of the creek presents an interesting dive at alternative depths. The rock is a pinnacle with the deepest spot at around 35 meters and the shallowest rising to 15 meters.

Navigation: The dive is a simple circumnavigation. The Western side is shallower and ideal for anchoring. Taking an anti-clockwise direction leads the dive to the deeper side of the rock where large fish may be sighted. The dive may progress gradually rising to shallower depths where the scenery changes with more light, colourful overhangs and crevices are home to small fish.
