Għarb is a village on Gozo (Reġjun Għawdex), sitting just inland from the island’s western coast. Scuba diving here is mainly about using Gozo as a gateway to Maltese dive sites in the Mediterranean, rather than diving directly in the village itself. Most divers base themselves around the main Gozo ports and shore access, then take short drives to coastal entry points or join boat trips when conditions are suitable. On Gozo you’ll typically encounter typical Mediterranean reef and rocky bottom environments, with seasonal visibility and currents affecting how comfortable the dive feels for different levels. If you’re planning to dive from Għarb, expect to travel to the day’s shore site or meet a dive boat outside the village.
