Stern of P31 , on brilliant white sand
long , the Um El Faroud merits multiple dives , offering plenty of penetration opportunities for divers of appropriate experience and qualification . Meanwhile , P29 and Rozi are both found at Cirkewwa , 150 metres from each other . Most recreational divers first visit one of the wrecks , then after a surface interval do a dive on the other one .
While its distance from shore only makes it suitable as a boat dive , recreational divers also enjoy visiting MV Imperial Eagle , a ferry boat at a maximum depth of 42 metres . For those
interested in shallower wrecks , the most popular scuttled vessels are Tug 2 in Sliema , the patrol boat P31 in Comino , and the tugboats St Michael and Tug 10 in Marsascala . All these wrecks are in relatively shallow water , with none of them surpassing 25 metres .
