About Luciston Collier

The Luciston Collier is a World War I wreck located approximately 6 km east of Delimara, Malta. This British coal cargo ship was torpedoed on 29th November 1916 while en route from Cardiff to Malta. The wreck, which measures about 100 m in length and 25 m in beam, rests at a depth of 104 metres, making it a technical trimix dive. It's important to note that diving the Luciston Collier requires a special permit, managed by Heritage Malta, and was opened for divers on 1st May 2019.

This dive site is recommended for technical divers due to its depth. The Luciston Collier is one of several World War I wrecks in Malta, including Le Polynesien (depth 65 m), HMS Nasturtium (70 m), HMS Aegusa (76 m), and HMS Russell (115 m). The exact visibility and current conditions can vary, and the possible marine life at the site is not specified. The primary attraction of this site is the historical wreck itself, offering a unique glimpse into the past.
