Cirkewwa (Malta)
Malta · North-west coast of MaltaNear Majjistral Park
One of the finest shore sites in Malta, with two deliberately scuttled wrecks: the tug Rozi, 40 m long, sunk in 1992 and sitting upright, and the P29, a 52 m German patrol boat sunk in 2007 that rests at 34 m with her masthead at about 12. The natural arch, left by a collapsed cavern, and the statue of the Virgin are both at around 18 m.
