The Azure Window, a huge natural arch in the sea cliffs, is a breathtaking Gozitan view. In the rocks in front of it is another geological freak called the Blue Hole – a vertical chimney in the limestone, about 10m in diameter and 25m deep, that connects with the open sea through an underwater arch about 8m down. Understandably, it’s a very popular dive site and the snorkelling here is excellent, too. Moby Dives and St Andrews Divers Cove , both located in Xlendi, are available for lessons and equipment hire.
