Santa Marija Caves Dive Site

4.9(4,987 reviews)

About

Among Malta's local businesss, Santa Marija Caves Dive Site stands as an attraction at Golden Bay, Il-Mellieħa, Malta, on the main island of the Maltese archipelago. First-time visitors should expect a coastal dive site rather than a built facility, with the sea caves themselves forming the draw. The site sits on Malta's northern coast, away from the harbour towns to the south.

Divers who have logged time here have pushed Santa Marija Caves Dive Site to 4.9 out of 5, a score built on 4982 reviews, which places it among the most reviewed dive attractions on the island. That volume of feedback reflects steady traffic from both resident divers and visitors. The site's reputation rests on the cave formations and the underwater terrain around Golden Bay. Its online home is http://aquamarine.mt/?ref=gpag1, where the operator hosts further material.

Five photos give a preview of the site before anyone gets in the water. The website serves as the main online hub for the dive operation. Golden Bay sits within Il-Mellieħa, the northernmost local council area on Malta.

Reaching the site from the island's main resorts and towns is straightforward, with Valletta, Sliema, St. Julian's, Paceville, Birgu (Vittoriosa), Mdina, Rabat and Mosta all connected by road to the northern coast. Malta draws direct flights from across Europe, and ferries link the main island to Gozo and Comino for those extending a trip. Maltese and English are both spoken, so briefings and directions are easy to follow. Meals on the island lean on Mediterranean and North African traditions, with fresh seafood, rabbit stew and pastizzi pastries common on menus. Summers are hot and dry while winters stay mild, and the busiest stretch for visitors runs from June to September.
