About Carolita

The Carolita wreck is located in Valletta Harbour and sank during World War II. It rests at a depth of 22 meters, making it easily accessible for beginner divers. Despite the reduced visibility due to the silt on the sea bed, the wreck is still in good condition and mostly intact. Divers can expect to find small items scattered on the sea bed, adding to the historical significance of the site. It is important for divers to be cautious and avoid disturbing the silt, as it can further reduce visibility. When ascending, it is recommended to do so slowly and carefully. The maximum visibility at this dive site is approximately 15 meters, and there is no significant current to contend with. Various marine life can be encountered during the dive, making it an interesting experience for divers of all levels. The Carolita wreck offers a unique opportunity to explore a piece of history in a relatively shallow and accessible location.
