Watch: Divers Free Unexploded WWII Bomb From Ċirkewwa Waters

The unexploded WWII bomb recently discovered off the coast of Ċirkewwa has been freed by the environmental NGO Coast is Clear and the Armed Forces of Malta.

Located around 41m below the Ċirkewwa Marine Park, the bomb was discovered during a Coast is Clear clean-up activity on October 7th.

While removing ghost nets from the sea, divers stumbled upon the torpedo and chose to abandon the clean-up until the area was declared safe. Today, they returned to assist the Armed Forces of Malta find and remove the bomb, before continuing their efforts to clear nets in Ċirkewwa.

Coast is Clear representative Mark Galea Pace shared the feat on social media, thanking the divers and organisations that helped make the clean-up possible.
