Why dive here
P 31 is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and sea turtles. Water ranges 16-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
The P31 patrol boat, scuttled in 2009 off Comino, is a really solid dive, especially for those newer to wreck diving. Sitting upright at a modest 17 meters, it’s completely penetrable, inviting divers to swim through the bridge and various compartments. We love how the light filters in through the windows, illuminating the growing marine life inside. Look for small shoals of damselfish darting through the corridors and the occasional moray eel peeking from a pipe. It's a proper wreck experience without the intimidation, making it a great second or third dive of the day if you're exploring the area.
