Info: the P31 was a minesweeper named Pasewalk (GS05) when built by the East Germans before reunification. Sold to the Maltese in 1992 and renamed 31, being used as a patrol boat. This artificial reef is the sistership to the P29 in Cirkewwa. Later bought and decommissioned in 2004, then sunk in 2009. The wreck lies upright in white sand off camino in a depth of 22-meters (72-feet). The site is known for its clear waters, and it’s one of the best artificial reefs for OWD in Malta.
