Casper
Pembroke, Malta
An unidentified steam vessel found in 2014 off Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq, broken and twisted across the sand at around 38 to 40 m. A genuine mystery wreck with a boiler as its centrepiece.

Junkers Ju 88 (North)
Pembroke, Malta
A German twin engine bomber from the siege of Malta lying on sand at about 55 metres, three kilometres off the north coast. Well preserved, tail broken off nearby, and divable only with a Heritage Malta permit through a registered centre.
Digital RenderLockheed P2V Neptune
Pembroke, Malta
A submarine hunter that never sank in anger. This RAF Neptune was broken on landing, sold to a film company and dumped off Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq as a movie prop, then lost for nearly sixty years until divers found it again in 2015.
Digital RenderHMS P36
Pembroke, Malta
A U-class submarine bombed at her berth in Sliema in 1942, salvaged sixteen years later and dumped in deep water north of Malta. At around a hundred and forty metres she is the deepest divable wreck on the island, and barely anyone has been.
Digital RenderSmall World
Pembroke, Malta
A retired Captain Morgan party boat lying in about 103 metres of open water north of Malta. Trimix, serious surface support, and a wreck that almost nobody has seen.
Digital RenderUnknown Barge
Pembroke, Malta
A big unidentified barge sitting upright on sand at around 60 m off St Paul's Bay, close to the submarine HMS Stubborn. Flat and plain from outside, more interesting once you go in.
