Lantern Point Comino

Lantern Point, located on the Southeastern side of Comino, under the watchful eye of St. Mary' s Tower, can be done in many different ways. On the outer side of the reef, at around 3 to 5 meters, swimming towards the westerly direction, you will come across a large opening in the
reef! Follow this down to the bottom for approx. 30 to 40 meters and the tunnel open's up midway down the reef wall at 17 meters. Keeping the wall on you right for a moment, swim out for 2 minutes, and you will come face to face with small caverns and arch ways.

Follow them with care, as some of them lead down and out on the bottom of the reef to 45 and 48 meters. This area is spectacular for photographers interested in the array of multicolored sponges and coral growth!
Now, moving round the reef, heading back up to around 25 to 27 meters, taking an Easterly direction, you come across more and more caverns and tunnels, leading you even further up the reef at 14 to 10 meters.

Now, at this point you are coming close to the end of your dive, following the reef wall to the East, brings you to a shallow cave under the tower
also called 'St. Mary' s Cave', at about 4 meters.

This dive can give even the most experience diver a very large smile! Due to the underwater tunnels and caverns, the marine life flourishes with with frequent encounters of lobsters and moray eels hanging round every corner! Looking over the drop off, you can also see large amber jacks and groupers hunting.  This is definitely a big thumb up if you ever get the chance to dive in Comino!
