About this dive site

This dive site is the P-31, a former East German minesweeper that was decommissioned in 2004. She underwent a unique process – being stripped of her armaments and subsequently scuttled as a submerged diving location in 2009, situated off the coast of Comino. The maximum depth for this dive is 21 meters. Divers can explore the entire vessel without needing to surface. A notable feature is the visibility within the boat, where illuminated backlights create an impressive and entertaining experience. This wreck offers a fascinating glimpse into Cold War history.
