Malta wrecks

The sea around Malta is of course littered with wrecks.

Trouble is - the sea very quickly becomes too deep for conventional scuba diving. The 'diveable' areas have been picked clean long ago.

The museum in Valetta is well worth a visit. The corroded but unmistakeable JU87 wing spar at the entrance was a poignant reminder of the huge numbers of aircraft that met a watery grave there in WW2.
