Dive-site story
The Bristol Blenheim Bomber is a well-preserved World War II aircraft wreck resting upright on an open seabed off the eastern coast of Malta. Ditched in late 1941 after sustaining damage on a mission, the plane remains largely intact with its wings, fuselage, and one of its radial engines still clearly discernible. Divers descend straight down the shot line into blue water, where the silhouette of the historic twin-engine bomber emerges from the surrounding plain.
