About P33

P33 is a former patrol boat that now serves as an underwater attraction for wreck divers in Marsaskala. This Bremse class vessel, built in East Germany in 1971-72, measures approximately 23 m in length, 5 m in beam, and 7 m high including the mast. The boat was sold to Malta in 1992 and served in the Maritime Squadron of the Armed Forces of Malta until its decommissioning in 2005. Unfortunately, the wreck is disintegrating rapidly due to natural forces at the seabed.

The dive site, which is recommended for advanced divers, has a maximum depth of 24 m. The P33 was scuttled between existing tug boat wrecks in Marsaskala on July 31, 2021. The exact visibility varies, but divers should be prepared for potential currents. As a wreck dive site, it offers a unique exploration experience, although the possible marine life that can be encountered is not specified.
