Shallow boat-access wreck off Comino.
Shallow boat-access wreck off Comino: a former patrol boat with open swimthroughs, bright sand-bottom surroundings, and a layout that makes for relaxed wreck exploration. It suits newer wreck divers well, but there is still enough structure and fish life to keep the dive interesting, especially for training and photos.

Scuba Diving
A good wreck dive for newer divers and relaxed exploration: open layout, easy penetration, and enough structure to stay interesting.
Freediving
Possible for experienced freedivers on calm days because the wreck is shallow and open, but boat logistics still apply.
Snorkeling
Snorkelers can sometimes see the wreck on clear days, but it is much better suited to scuba or freediving.
