Shallow boat-access wreck off Comino.
About P-31
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.
