Ship Wrecks

Malta has some of the best wreck diving in the Mediterranean, and this specialty uses that directly. The Wreck specialty at Scuba Malta includes 2 wreck dives and covers basic penetration and exploration techniques — the foundations you need to start going inside ships rather than just swimming around them.

The wrecks in Maltese waters are mostly intentionally sunk and well-maintained. Sites like MV Karwela (12–35 m, Gozo), the P29 patrol boat (18–36 m, Cirkewwa), and Um el Faroud (18–36 m) offer different challenges at different depths. The specialty dives are selected to match the course level, building penetration comfort in a controlled way before moving to more complex routes.

With over 5,000 hours in Maltese waters, the instructor team knows these wrecks in detail — the entry points, the internal layout, how visibility behaves inside. That's the kind of local knowledge that makes wreck training here particularly good.

The PADI version carries a 50 € supplement over the 330 € price. Equipment included.
