This is a wreck of a libyian oil tanker, the ship was in valletta harbour for repairs when an explosion caused by diesel fumes, nine maltese welders were killed. The libyian goverment abandond the ship where it was eventually bought by the maltese tourist board, she was scuttled near the blue grotto and lies in approx 37mtrs
When I dived her in 2001 she had broken her back,
all the steel doors and electrical wiring have been removed, this makes for a wonderful dive with abundant sea life ---- definate 5 out of 5
