Mast of the P29 boat wreck in Cirkewwa, Malta, Mediterranean Sea.


The P29 was originally called Boltenhagen (GS09) built in East Germany and used as a minesweeper before the reunification of East and West Germany. Malta purchased the ship in 1997 and renamed it to P29 as a patrol boat in the fight against smuggling at sea. Ten years later the P29 became a dive site attraction in a depth of 35 m off Cirkewwa in the North of Malta and is now one of the most popular diving destinations of the Maltese Islands.
