HMS Maori was a 115 metres long British destroyer that sunk in Grand Harbour of Valletta by German air raid attack in February 1942. In July 1945 the wreck was raised, and the forepart was scuttled to its current position in St. Elmo Bay near the entrance to Marsamxett Harbour on the other side of Valletta.
HMS Maori is the shallowest wreck dive in Malta with its maximum depth of 16 m.

I Dived HMS Māori some years ago it was a lovely dive ,
Interesting fact , their is an Artillery shell
Embedded in the hill , being only 15 metres down the sun was streaming onto it where it had 1945 on it it seems like everyone gave it a rub .
As even being brass it was shiny as hell.
The only downside to this dive was when you finished the dive by waiting for a wave to wash onto the rocks ( all flat thou) and you scrabbled up like a turtle !
Very un dignified I might say
