Cliff Diving

 

Cliff diving is something we have been doing since the begging of time, it’s fun. It doesn’t require any equipment, just technique, and nerves of steal.

 

The best place to do it in Malta island is Comino. Comino has multiple spots for all levels, from beginners to professionals

 

Crystal Lagoon

The best place for snorkeling cliff diving has to be Crystal lagoon, where you have a few jump spots, the smallest jump is just 3 feet and the highest goes up to 90 feet. It is also sheltered from most winds and the sea is quite deep. Giving it perfect conditions for this sport.

There are a lot of options in between depending on your level. Our client’s favorite has to be the 20-foot jump. It’s a very easy jump to get to, and it’s high enough to give you a good adrenaline rush.
