About Migra Ferha

Migra Ferha dive site is located on the south west coast of Malta under Dingli Cliffs. It offers stunning views both above and below the surface. This site is known for its diverse range of dive sites, including car wrecks, boulders, caves, caverns, overhangs, and an archway. The maximum depth at Migra Ferha exceeds 60 meters, making it suitable for experienced divers. One of the highlights of this dive site is the car wrecks that can be found close to the cliff at a depth of about 15 meters. These wrecks create a unique artificial reef and provide an interesting underwater exploration. Additionally, there are more car wrecks in front of a large cave at 32 meters and deeper. The boulder area on the other side of the reef, ranging from 15 to 25 meters deep, offers further opportunities for exploration. It is important to note that Migra Ferha is best accessed by boat, as the shore entry requires navigating approximately 150 steep steps. Divers should also be cautious of currents and ensure that exit is possible before entering the sea. After diving, it is advisable to rest for 20-30 minutes before climbing the steps back up to avoid exercise-related decompression illness. Overall, Migra Ferha is a captivating dive site for experienced divers seeking a variety of underwater landscapes and marine life.

Dive Site Hazards

  • Unstable Visual Ascents — Relying on wall visuals can destabilise ascents.

  • Gradual Depth Creep — Lack of visual bottom reference can cause unnoticed descent.

  • Unsignalled Downcurrents — Downcurrents can form without visible indicators.

  • Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.

  • Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.

  • Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.

  • Edge-Accelerated Currents — Currents often strengthen along drop-off edges.

  • Depth Perception Distortion — Visual contrast can distort perceived depth.

  • Terrain-Induced Descent — Divers may unintentionally follow terrain downward.
