About this site
Fortizza Reef and Tunnels is a shallow reef dive site accessible from the shore, described as being right on the doorstep of the local dive area in Malta. The site is characterised by tunnels, caves, and arches running through the reef structure, making it a varied and engaging dive even at beginner depths.
The terrain centres on a reef with multiple swim-throughs — tunnels, caves, and arches — giving the dive an exploratory feel despite its shallow profile. The site suits beginners and is also accessible to snorkellers, with entry and exit made directly from shore.
Marine life at Fortizza Reef includes colourful fish and sea turtles, set among the reef's coral formations and diverse ecosystem.
