One of the dive sites we run here in Malta — here's the story behind it, the depth and access, and what it takes to dive it properly.
The P31 is a former patrol boat — sister to the P29 — scuttled in the shallows of Comino's Blue Lagoon in 2009. She sits upright and intact at around 20m in beautifully clear, bright water, which makes her a superb first wreck and a brilliant training platform. Easy, photogenic and good fun, with the famous turquoise of the Blue Lagoon overhead.
Good news: this site is well within reach of recreational and advanced recreational divers — no technical certification needed to enjoy it. Come and dive it with me, and when you’re ready to push deeper into Malta’s technical sites, here’s where to head next:
Already certified and just want to dive it? Come and explore it with me on open circuit or CCR — one relaxed dive a day, no rushing, as long in the water as you like.
Want to dive P31 Patrol Boat? Tell me your certification level and your dates, and I'll plan it with you. No pressure, no hard sell — just a good dive.
