Maltese patrol boat P29

P29 was a Kondor I-class patrol boat built by Peenewerft shipyard to patrol the river banks between the East and West Germany and then was also used as a minesweeper for the East German Navy under the name Boltenhagen. In 1992 it became a patrol boat of the Maritime Squadron of the Armed Forces of Malta. After being decommissioned, it was was scuttled as a dive site in 2007 off Ċirkewwa, Malta.

It was purchased by Malta in 1997, five years after her sister ships P30 (formerly Ueckermuende) and P31 (formerly Pasewalk), and was used to secure the Maltese coast against smuggling and border control operations. It was sunk as an attraction for divers on 14 August 2007 to serve as a diving site. P29 is 51 metres long and lies at a depth of around 35 metres but the entire dive may be done at 25 meters.

The highest point of the wreck is situated only 12 metres deep from the surface. Since this wreck was quite recently sunk compared to the MV Rozi and other wreck sites in Malta, it requires some time to attract a good amount of marine life inside and around it. Since 2007, Alicia mirabilis, squid, flying gurnards and rays have already started settling on the wreck of the patrol boat.

Dennis O’Hare, an experienced Scottish diver, died while diving on this wreck in November 2010.

In 2013, P29 was listed among the "10 Most Incredible Sunken Ships on Earth" by Amazing Beautiful World, although this list has been disputed.
