Malakoff (Wreck)
This dive takes place on the wreck of a French freighter, “The Malakoff“, which was 110 metres long and 19 metres wide and sank on the 2nd of January 1929, off the southwest coast of Minorca. It is between 30 and 38 metres deep and is therefore only suitable for experienced and qualified divers.
It has become an artificial reef where we can see red sea squirts, sponges, sea slugs, painted combers, morays, damselfishes, red mullets, groupers, morays, conger eels and barracudas.
