Explore P31 wreck

A fantastic dive for all levels, the P31 is great for training, particularly for beginners, however, the patrol boat is interesting even for the more experienced divers. Easy to penetrate, with many areas left open, you can swim right through the P31 from stern to bow, while you can also explore the engine room, although you’ll find that it contains quite a bit of sand.

Marine life on and around the wreck also abounds. Here you’ll find a variety of the peculiar and colourful nudibranch, morey eels and scorpionfish, while a thorough look over the sandy seabed may reveal stingrays, an octopus or two. Nearby, you’ll also find Posidonia seagrass beds. Due to the wreck’s shallow depth, the light that penetrates the sea casts beautiful colourful shadows, so snapping some photos here while freediving is highly recommended.

One of the smallest islands on the Maltese archipelago and the least densely populated, at just 3.5 square kilometres, the island of Comino is a bird sanctuary and nature reserve, which took its name from the cumin seed that once flourished here. Featuring mostly rocky wilderness, largely underdeveloped, with jagged cliffs, two small sandy beaches and coves, Comino is most well-known for the Blue Lagoon and its turquoise pristine water, however, there is so much more to do.

Hike along the rugged countryside which becomes thick with wild herbs and flowers during the springtime or hit the water with a kayak to explore the coastline. If swimming is still your main thing, Blue Lagoon is not the only beach available. On the northside of Comino you’ll find Santa Marja Bay, a beautiful and peaceful beach, while close by, there’s San Niklaw Bay.
