About HMS St. Angelo

HMS St. Angelo is a World War II wreck located approximately 1.5 km off the entrance to Grand Harbour in Malta. Originally a tug boat, it was used for harbour transport, carrying personnel from the Royal Navy base Fort St. Angelo to warships moored in the harbour and other ports around Malta. During the war, it also served for rescue, towing, and minesweeping operations. On 30th May 1942, the St. Angelo struck a mine and sunk outside Valletta. The wreck is about 24 m in length and lies upright on a sandy seabed at a depth of 54 m.

Due to its depth and location in the maritime channel with busy ship traffic, this dive site is recommended for technical divers or very experienced divers only. It is considered dangerous unless the harbour is closed on specific dates. The dive site type is a wreck. The exact visibility and possible marine life at the site are not specified.
