Um El Faroud

The Um El Faroud is Malta's flagship wreck and carries real weight: a gas explosion aboard the Libyan tanker during dockyard maintenance in 1995 killed nine Maltese workers, and after three years alongside she was scuttled off Wied iz-Zurrieq in their memory as much as for divers. Winter storms later cracked her in two, which only improved the dive: the break lets light into the tank spaces and gives the 110-meter hull a dramatic wound to explore. Divers drop along her upright superstructure, cross the bridge and funnel, and meet the barracuda school that treats the mast as home. A memorial plaque asks for the respect the site deserves.

वह पल जिसके लिए आप आते हैं: Full-size tanker on sand, the storm-split midships, resident barracuda school, moving backstory

टोपोग्राफी: A 110 m tanker in two sections on clean sand at about 36 m, upright, off Malta's south coast

प्रवेश: Classic entry from the rocks at Wied iz-Zurrieq followed by a surface swim, or by boat; the shore route back involves a ladder exit and is best in calm seas.

खतरे: Depth and distance from the entry point; interior spaces are extensive and for wreck-trained divers only.

संरक्षण: Treat the wreck as the memorial it partly is; take nothing and disturb nothing.

Nitrox: यहाँ उपयोगी: प्रोफ़ाइलें उस रेंज में हैं जहाँ enriched air no-stop time को सार्थक रूप से बढ़ाता है (इसके उपयोग के प्रशिक्षण के साथ)।
