Ras il-Ħobż

Also known as: Middle Finger · Ras il-Hobz

A plateau only about 5 m deep nearby is used for training and for long decompression stops, so the site suits divers of all experience levels. The pinnacle draws amberjack, dentex and moray eels, with crayfish and hermit crabs in its cracks. MaltaDives notes that the most interesting parts can be seen within 25 m. Technical divers find a large three-pronged anchor jutting from the wall at about 63 m.
