Imperial Eagle wreck & Christ of the Sailors
A former Malta–Gozo ferry, deliberately sunk off Qawra, with the Christ of the Sailors statue in the nearby underwater area. This is a deep wreck destination for appropriately trained and experienced divers. Arrange assessment, transport and the dive directly with a qualified local centre; no shore entry or wreck-penetration route is provided here.
