Dragonara Cava, Natural sinkhole and diving site in Il-Mellieħa, Malta.
Id-Dragunara features a collapsed cave structure with an oval-shaped rocky opening that creates a natural sea cave with calm, protected waters inside.
The sinkhole formed through thousands of years of coastal erosion processes, creating underground cavities that have attracted visitors and researchers studying Malta's geological development.
Local folklore associates the cave with ancient legends and maritime stories, with residents sharing tales about mysterious creatures believed to inhabit its depths.
Access requires boat transportation or kayaking due to lack of designated pathways, with visitors advised to wear sturdy footwear and check weather conditions before exploring.
The cave allows divers to surface inside its circular coral lagoon and observe vertical cliff walls through the open ceiling while being surrounded by marine life.
