The B-24 Liberator is a four-engined American heavy bomber that came down in Maltese waters during the war — today a deep aircraft wreck for technical divers. Aircraft wrecks have a character all their own: the recognisable shape of wings and engines resting on the seabed, and the weight of the story behind them. A rewarding deep dive for those with the training for it.

Advanced Wreck belongs on this list too. It isn’t what raises your depth limit — your gas qualification does that — but it’s what makes penetrating a wreck at this depth a sensible thing to do: long line work, losing the line and finding it again, and out-of-gas contingencies inside an overhead.
