Santa Marija Caves

別名： Comino Caves · Ghemieri Caves · Santa Maria Caves

Several caves sit side by side in a small cliff-lined inlet, and dive guides count at least ten of them, each with a different shape. Some are partly above water, so divers can surface in air pockets lit by holes in the roof. Sunlight falling through cracks and openings makes the caverns a favourite of underwater photographers. Outside one of the exits a cut in the rock shaped like the letter Z forms a well-known swim-through, and an arch lies nearby. The sandy inlet is home to hundreds of saddled bream that have long been fed by divers and crowd around anyone who enters. One of the caves was a filming location of the 2002 film The Count of Monte Cristo.
