Great idea! A historical site and living reef rivalling some of the best wrecks around the world! Should be sunk away from shore so the diveboat operators can benefit as well. Near the Stubborn would be good (bridge and deck in recreational depth and tecdivers can have fun at the prop and lower decks) Also within easy reach of boatoperators from SPB, Sliema, M'ha and even Gozo...

Such an underwater vessel would enrich the marine ecosystem and opportunities for divers.

Suggest off St Pauls Island Malta depth around 55 m and near to HMS Stubborn. Easy to reach by boat and no hazard to shipping.

Off St Pauls bay near HMS Stubborn approx dept 55 meter sandy bottom would be great
