The Lighter X-127

There is many war fought in the water around Malta, and has left several wrecks for divers to explore. The Lighter X-127 is one of them. For those who want to reach the wreck, they have to swim at a depth between 10-15 meters.



It was built for the Gallipoli campaign in the First World War in 1915 and sank 6th of March 1942 in Marsamxett Harbor.
Actually, people had a thought to remove this wreck since it was in the way for building. But Dave Mallard was the one that didn’t let that happened, he got it protected. It is after all a historical object.

Today Sarah and Dave Mallard are going to do a pleasure dive at the wreck and Burak will do his last MSDT and then he will be a finished instructor.
