The Blue Hole in Xlendi is a natural limestone cylinder connected to the sea via an archway. Divers enter from a natural rock platform before navigating through the arch, where the seabed drops away into open water. The site features a cavern and wall topography reaching depths between 12 and 45 metres. Visibility is high, typically ranging from 30 to 50 metres. While the site is accessible to beginners, it includes overhead environments and significant depth variations. Currents are generally mild, and the site is suitable for night diving. Facilities on-site include parking, toilets, showers, changing rooms, and equipment rental services.
