The Site

HMS Nasturtium was a Flower-class corvette lost in Maltese waters during the Second World War, and today she's one of the island's finest deep wrecks, sitting at around 68m. Largely intact and rarely dived, she's a genuine technical objective — Trimix 75 territory — with the atmosphere that only a deep, quiet, complete warship can offer.
