Xlendi Wreck

This is the former ferry boat MV Xlendi which was scuttled and is situated at a depth of 40 m. It’s size is impressive and due the fact that it landed up side down it can be quite confusing for the unsuspecting diver. Resting at that depth you must also consider the effect that nitrogen narcosis will be having on your judgment..
