About this site
Billinghurst Cave sits along Gozo's limestone coastline, part of the network of caverns and swim-throughs that mark the island's northern and western shores. It is an advanced dive reaching around 30 metres, with a cave bottom and visibility described as great. As an overhead environment it demands proper planning, and the site sits in an exposed position that can be affected by weather, with divers noting zero natural light once inside the cave. Access is typically by small boat or from rocky shore entry points nearby. Octopus have been spotted here as well.
