The Site

A Martin Maryland reconnaissance bomber lost off Malta during the war, this is a deep aircraft wreck for technical divers. The Marylands flew vital reconnaissance from the island through the siege, and finding one on the seabed is a tangible link to that history — an evocative deep dive for properly qualified divers.
