About this dive site

This dive site presents the HMS St Angelo, a historic tugboat that served the Royal Navy and as a minesweeper. Originally used for transporting supplies and personnel to Fort St Angelo and other ports across Malta, it tragically struck a mine during patrol and sank in the outskirts of Valletta. Now a wreck located at a depth of 54 meters, it offers an intriguing dive for experienced divers due to its considerable depth and challenging access. Reaching the site requires boat transport only, navigating around busy harbor traffic. The HMS St Angelo’s dimensions are approximately 24 meters in length. This wreck is known for being less accessible than other sites in the Grand Harbour. It's currently classified as a technical dive.
