Dive-site story
Scuttled in August 2006 off the southern coast of Gozo at Ix-Xatt l-Aħmar, the MV Cominoland sits upright on a sandy seabed. The former tourist day-boat features open upper decks, an accessible wheelhouse, and interior penetration routes for trained divers. Entry from the rocky shore requires swimming across a shallow reef shelf before descending along the drop-off directly onto the wreck.
