Just after a year of its scuttling the P29 has become a home to an abundance of Marine Life.... It is easy to penetrate and just a 6 minute swim from Suzie's Pool.

Alicia Mirabilis are every where on the wreck, during the day they are not much to see but on a night dive you will encounter a fantastic sight. These beautiful creatures are all open at night!

Squid, Flying Gurnards, Rays are all on and around the P29.

The P29 was together with the P31 recently decommissioned by the Armed Forces of Malta. Vessels both served with the Squadron for over 12 years and were responsible for many offshore missions including asserting control over Malta's Continental Shelf, anti-contraband missions and numerous border control operations.
