P29

Also known as: Patrol Boat P29 · Boltenhagen · P29 Minesweeper

The P29 was a Kondor-class minesweeper built for the East German navy and later used by Malta's maritime squadron as a patrol boat. Before it was sunk it was cleaned and opened up so that divers can safely enter several sections. The highest parts of the wreck reach to about 12 m below the surface, while the seabed lies at about 34 m and the bow area slightly deeper. The machine gun left on the bow is the classic photo spot of the site. The wreck lies roughly 150 m from shore and close to the tug Rozi, so both are often combined in the Cirkewwa area.
