Deep Menorca wreck dive with heavy fish life.
Boat logistics, current timing, and wreck-specific briefing are normally handled by a local dive center.
Malakoff (Wreck) is a large French freighter wreck off southwest Menorca, now a deep artificial reef with heavy marine growth and plenty of fish life. It is a boat-only, advanced dive for qualified wreck divers who want a deliberate offshore run, careful gas planning, and a focused look at the wreck rather than an easy recreational profile.
