    The Schnellboot, a German E-boat from WWII, sits upright at 55 metres off Comino. It's a deep dive, best for experienced technical divers comfortable with overhead environments, as penetration is possible into the torpedo tubes and engine room. Schools of barracuda often circle the wreck, and we've spotted large groupers resting in its shadows. This site offers a genuine historical encounter for those with the right training.
