Ghar Lapsi is a small rocky inlet located in Siggiewi, along the south coast of Malta. It is one of the few places in the area where the sea can be accessed directly from the shore. The dive site offers a range of shallow dive sites, including a stunning cave system that stretches over 40 meters and features multiple cracks and holes that allow sunlight to filter through. Divers can also explore various reefs with beautiful walls and caves, such as Finger Reef, Middle Reef, and Black John. One unique attraction is the underwater nativity scene known as the Crib. Entry and exit are typically easy in the sheltered cove, although the walk down and up a steep hill with steps can be challenging while fully kitted up. Another entry/exit point for Black John is located near the reverse osmosis plant. Ghar Lapsi is not only a popular spot for diving but also for swimming and snorkeling. It is important to note that strong currents can occur in the area. Visitors will find convenient amenities such as parking, a cafe/restaurant, toilets, and a police station available at Ghar Lapsi. The nearby location of Qrendi offers additional opportunities for exploration. With its diverse marine life and cave formations, Ghar Lapsi is an ideal dive site for beginners.
