Manikata

Manikata is a small coastal area in Malta’s Northern Region, directly on the Mediterranean Sea. It’s a practical base for reef and wall dives around the northern Maltese coast, with many outings organized as short boat trips from nearby harbors. Expect typical Mediterranean conditions: clear water at times, mostly rocky bottoms, and a mix of hard substrate with fish typical of the central Mediterranean. If you’re planning scuba in Malta, Manikata works well for divers who want easy access to the north-side sites and a low-key seaside base rather than a large resort town.
