Welcome to the online Virtual Museum – Underwater Malta. This portal displays data regarding some known wrecks and submerged aircraft contained within the Wreck Inventory of Malta Database (WIMD).

Please note that the development of this online museum is an ongoing project run by the University of Malta and the portal should not be relied upon as a comprehensive display of all known data/information about a particular site. Sites will be added, individually refined and updated on an ongoing basis. It is envisaged that this museum will be of interest to researchers, students, divers as well as to all stakeholders and the general public.
