Name: Divers Helmet & Bell Cave (see also Wied iz- Zurrieq, Left Wall, Um El Faroud)
   
Max Depth: 30m
   
Access: Shore
   
Diver Level: Advanced Open Water and above
   
Description:
This dive takes you out of the valley onto the sand towards the wreck of the Um El Faroud. About halfway to the wreck you will find a statue of a diver's helmet that was sunk in 2005 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Atlam Subaqua Club. From here turn right towards the reef where you will reach a sandy patch. Here there is a small "mouse hole" entrance into the Bell Cave at 26m. Inside it's fairly small but is home to many anenome, cardinal fish and the odd conger eel. A good dive that takes you not too far from home.
