About this site
The P29 is a patrol boat wreck off Cirkewwa at Malta's northwest tip, just beyond the Cirkewwa Arch where the reef drops off. She is a former East German minesweeper, 52 m long, that was scuttled in 2007 as a dive site. She lies upright at about 34 m, with a maximum depth near 37 m, and the dive suits advanced divers.
The wreck carries a bow machine gun and original German switchboards, and scorpionfish and damselfish have made it their home.
