THE WAY IN
Getting there & access
Choose the correct side of Qawra Point
Fra Ben and North Reef are on the northern side; Qawra Bay is on the southeast side. Offshore reef and wreck sites need a separate access plan. Use the individual site point rather than a general Qawra meeting pin.

Plan for the day you go
Check the current regional wind and sea outlook, then agree the entry, exit, route and required experience with a local operator. Regional forecasts do not measure cave surge, currents, visibility, water quality or closures.
Cave and overhead access requires an on-site assessment and appropriate training and equipment.
