Scuttled in 2007 to create an attraction for divers, and now resting upright on white sand at 38 meters, this 52 meter long Patrol Boat, an ex German Kondor class minesweeper,is Malta’s newest wreck/artificial reef complimenting the already very popular North Malta area.

The P29 is situated a short surface swim from the center of the Marfa area, with entries possible either from Suzies Pool or the Steps. The water here is frequently so clear that the wreck can be seen from a distance and the wholeship appreciated. As the P29 was scuttled deliberately all hazards were removed or sealed off and made environmentally safe leaving many areas for exploration and adventure still open for the experienced diver. For divers choosing not to enter the superstructure or hull, there is an increasing amount of  aquatic life to view during exploration of the exterior of the wreck. The P29 is becoming home to grouper, octopus, and squid and the weck sits as another example of what diving can give back to the environment.
