I was there on a conference a few years ago and If you have a diving license I can recommend an exhibition that is 15 meters below the surface right in the outer part of the Grand Harbor of Valetta HMS Maori, a tribal class destroyer that was sunk by Stukas in 1942...

Very easy dive and very accessible from the shore of the harbor...

EDIT: Oups - old thread but I stand by my advice for other people visiting Malta And there is a Blenheim and a Beaufighter amongst other aircraft out in the ocean... Rather deep though in most cases...
