The P31 Patrol Boat, also known as Patrol Boat 31, is a captivating wreck dive located off Comino Island, Malta, and is the only wreck available in that area. Originally an East German minesweeper that later served as a patrol vessel for the Armed Forces of Malta, the 52-meter long and 7-meter wide boat was intentionally scuttled in 2009 to create an underwater attraction. Its armaments were removed during its conversion.
The P31 rests upright on a sandy seabed, with depths ranging from 18 to 21 meters, and its upper portion reaching approximately 7 meters. This makes it suitable for both beginners and those with some diving experience, though it's also a fascinating site for experienced wreck divers. A unique feature of this dive is the ability to explore the interior of the vessel without needing to exit, enhancing safety and convenience. Divers can enjoy impressive backlit views that create an exceptionally captivating and enjoyable experience. The wreck's precise location is 36.0090°N 14.3231°E.
