About This Dive Spot
Tug 2 is a scuttled tugboat that served in the Grand Harbour of Valletta before being intentionally sunk in June 2013 to create an artificial reef. Initially positioned on sand about 20 meters from the reef, the wreck was displaced by a storm in October 2016 and is now situated bow-first against the reef. Divers can encounter a variety of marine life at this site, including Mediterranean sea bream, stingrays, moray eels, grouper, common octopus, cuttlefish, red starfish, damselfish, and other reef fish species.
