     Back to Map

Welcome to the beautiful Mediterranean Islands of MALTA with breathtaking coastlines and clear calm waters. Here you can explore the colour, vision and life of the undersea world and let your senses absorb memories that will last a lifetime.

Scuba Diving in Malta is considered the best diving in the Mediterranean. The Maltese islands are blessed with warm temperatures, even in winter, clear, unpolluted seas, with visibility underwater in excess of thirty metres. Hundreds of kilometres of coastline, many of which are still unexplored, make the Maltese archipelago a favourite with adventurous divers.

Malta Marine Foundation Proposed Wreck  Hannibal & Baliena


The Hannibal Project ~ PA 00597/03

On 31 January 2003 an application PA 00597/03 was submitted to MEPA.  This application was for the placing of the 23 meter long trawler ‘Hannibal’. 
The Wreck is presently laid down in Grand Harbour. The intention is to clean & prepare this trawler to be both environmentally and diver friendly and we hope to place this trawler as a diving attraction in a position where it could be easily reached by divers.  


Cassar Shipyard will carry out the whole task that is the cleaning, preparing the wreck to comply with diver friendly category and (already done) and sinking it upright in the designated site. The Malta Maritime Authority has found no objection to this project

The Baliena Dredger

The Baliena is an old dredger 28 meters long, 10 meters beam & approximately 8 meters high from its flat keel to the upper most part of its superstructure.

It is owned by Bezzina Shipyards & is currently laying listing on its side, part underwater & part above water near the Marsa power station. It is not easily visible from the shore and one need to go by boat to view this vessel.

The proposed site to place this dredger to become an underwater diving attraction is just off the shore close to the Exiles Water polo pitch in St Julians Bay. The proposed site is also the closest one to Grand Harbour thus minimizing transport logistics. A car park and kitting up area is also available on site making shore easy for the visiting divers as entry is within easy walking distance.
