Reef Dive, Żebbuġ, Gozo
Billinghurst cave is located on Gozo’s north side of its shoreline. Entering the water requires a giant stride. Railings are installed to facilitate the divers to the entry point and a ladder installed near the cave and can be used to exit the water.
Descending into the crystal clear blue waters and entering the cave you will find mostly shrimp in the reef. A torch is required as there is not much natural light in the cave. Preset lines are put out for divers to make their way in and out of the cave.
Towards the end, there will be an air pocket for divers to explore. Once exiting the cave, the dive can be continued along the reef and explore the big boulders just outside the cave or dive towards Reqqa point. Whenever the water is calm, it can be a very popular dive site and a must on your list when the weather is acceptable.
