SAYONARA - Comino

The Sayonara wreck off Comino is a straightforward dive, sitting flat on a sandy bottom at a shallow seven metres. We often hit it as a second dive, a nice easy cruise after something deeper. It’s a 20-metre yacht, and while it's been down a while, you can still make out the general shape of the deck and cabins. The lack of depth makes for good ambient light, and you'll find plenty of small stuff tucked into the nooks and crannies – damselfish, juvenile bream, and sometimes a sneaky octopus. It's a great spot for newer divers getting comfortable with wrecks, or for anyone who just wants a relaxed swim.
