Coral Cave dive site is located in Dwejra on the west coast of Gozo. Coral Cave is a large open cavern with colorful corals inside. The cave entrance starts at 17-18 m deep and stretches down to the seabed at 28-30 m. The semi-circular opening is about 30 metres wide, and the cave reaches 50-60 m inwards. There are boulders in front of the cavern, but inside the floor is sand/silt and slopes up to around 21 m meeting the ceiling at the back. The walls and the ceiling of Coral Cave are literally covered with many different types of corals.
The corals in the cave are very fragile, so divers should be careful not to damage them – do not touch anything, watch the buoyancy and do not stay long as the bubbles are harmful too. Coral Cave is an overhead environment cavern although very well-lit, even at the back. Stay in the open spaces and do not enter the hole in the back without proper cave diving training. This part of the cave is difficult to navigate when the silt is stirred up, and two divers lost their lives there in 1999.
