MV Xlendi (Wreck)

★★★★☆ (648)

Xlendi was a former Gozo Channel Line double-ended cargo ferry between Malta and Gozo. She was scuttled in November 1999 to form an artificial reef and an attraction for scuba divers. MV Xlendi wreck is around 80 m long and lies on a sandy slope about 44 m deep. Xlendi is a great site for experienced divers.

Due to its instability, it is not recommended to penetrate the wreck. However, with the wreck being upturned you can get an up-close look at its large propeller.
