From https://www.robsmith.co.uk/divesite-mv-karwela/ - Sinking MV Karwela on 12.8.06. A scuttled wreck for divers visiting Gozo in Malta. The MV Karwela was launched as M/S Frisia II in 1957. During 1977 she was named the “Nordpaloma” and transferred to Malta in 1986. She then sailed for Comino Marina LTD until around 2002 under her present name MV Karwela. The MV Karwela ferry measured 50.31 meters by 8.50 meter and was designed to carry 863 passengers. The ferry was scuttled as an artificial reef for scuba divers in Xatt L-Ahmar, Gozo along with MV Cominoland on 12th August 2006. Usually dived from the shore, she is a short swim straight out from the entry point. Her bows rest in 39 meters. Shortly after sinking, a VW car adorned with graffiti and pink carpet wheel arches was also dropped onto the wreck. Even though the wreck is a deep dive, the clear water and intense light of the Mediterranean allows shooting both underwater still photographs and video.
