If you’re an Open Water diver and haven’t explored the P31 wreck yet, add this one to your list! 🤭
Sitting in the crystal-clear waters of Comino, the P31 is one of those dives that reminds you why Malta is such a special place to dive. With the wreck starting at around 7 metres and reaching approximately 20 metres at its deepest point, it’s a fantastic wreck to explore within Open Water depth limits.
But there’s more to this wreck than meets the eye! 👀
Originally built in East Germany in the late 1960s as a minesweeper, the P31 was later sold to Malta in 1992 and served as a patrol boat for the Armed Forces of Malta. After being decommissioned in 2004, she was prepared and deliberately sunk off Comino in 2009 to create an artificial reef and a new home for marine life. 🐠
Today, the wreck is surrounded by fish, with plenty of little details to discover as you explore around the hull. Add that incredible visibility, the beautiful blue water, and the white sandy seabed.. 🤌🏽
And the best part? We have our own boat! 🚤 Our Comino trips usually combine a dive at the P31 with a visit to the beautiful Comino Caves. Two completely different underwater experiences in one trip, from exploring a historic wreck to swimming alongside dramatic rock formations and stunning blue water.
