    The HMS Mohawk, sitting off Tabarka, isn’t just a pile of twisted metal. It’s a proper dive, a deep journey into naval history. We love the way this Tribal-class destroyer, sunk in 1941, still holds its shape, even after all these years. Dropping down, you can make out the gun turrets, the bridge structure, and a good chunk of the stern, which is our favourite part to explore. The wreck is well-colonised now; expect to see schools of barracuda circling the superstructure and moray eels peeking from every nook. We’ve often spotted loggerhead turtles gliding past, seemingly oblivious to the ship’s past. This site is definitely for those comfortable with deeper dives and a touch of melancholy. Best to hit it on a calm morning before the afternoon chop rolls in, for the best visibility.
