Awesome spot. 17m to the top of the wreck, 32m to the bottom. Very nice freediving location, close to the rocks so don’t need a boat to get there.

Para mí el mejor pecio recreativo de malta. Es enorme y se suele bucear en 2 inmersiones por el tamaño que tiene. En la parte de la helice se puede entrar dentro por un montón de pasillos. La semana pasada se hundió una boya. La visibilidad no estaba tan bien como en otros pecios de la zona.

Espectacular petrolero de 110 metros de eslora. El recorrido entre los pasillos, los camarotes y las salas de máquinas es emocionante. En general el pecio es una explosión de vida brutal.

Good dive spot but very dangerous on the way to the wreck because of tourists boats going to and fro the blue grotto. The boat drivers are situated at the back of all passengers hence they have limited view of the swimmers and divers and zero warning signs. A high chance of severe injury or death. Sewage is at times visible here, don't be surprised if you see...

It's a great dive. A tanker which suffered an explosion while for repair in the dock was cleaned and scuttled of Word Is-Zurrieq for us divers. Great care has to be taken cause of unpredictable currents. If you are new to the place it is advisable to check with one of the local dive centres for a guided dive or an introduction to...

This is a really amazing dive site. It is a huge wreck and you can really get lost swimming through all the rooms. Gutted I didn't have a camera on me, however this meant i could really appreciate the site in the moment. I forgot all the super important details like depth, cost etc. as I went a few years ago. It was totally...
