ROBERT ROWAN (POSSIBLY)
Why dive here
ROBERT ROWAN (POSSIBLY) 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 Robert Rowan, or what we think is the Robert Rowan, sits in about 12 meters of water, just off the coast of Gozo. This steamship met a dramatic end in 1943, blowing up after taking hits from bombs and artillery, and that history really defines the site. We’ve found scattered pieces of the hull and machinery spread across the seabed, giving it more of an archaeological feel than a classic intact wreck. You'll spend your time here exploring the debris field, looking for clues to the ship's past, while damselfish dart around the plates and octopus hide in crevices. It's an interesting dive for those who enjoy a bit of history and don't mind a treasure hunt vibe over a grand superstructure.
