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.
The diving here suits divers at Trimix 75 level. If you’re not there yet, these are the courses that get you there:
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.
