NO 10 - Comino

The No 10 wreck lies off Comino’s coast, a scuttled tugboat sharing the seabed with the larger St. Michael. Dropping to 20 metres, this 15.8-metre vessel might not be huge, but it offers a surprisingly engaging dive. We’ve found the No 10 to be quite photogenic, with the wheelhouse and open cargo holds providing easy swim-throughs, even for newer wreck divers. It’s been down since '98, and that time has allowed plenty of damselfish and small schools of bream to call it home. We’d suggest pairing this with the St. Michael for a fuller experience; it’s a good warm-up act.
