Classic upright wreck dive at Malta's famous Tug Boat Rozi.
Classic upright wreck dive at Malta's famous Tug Boat Rozi.
Tug Boat Rozi is Malta's classic Cirkewwa wreck: an upright tugboat on a sandy bottom, easy to orient once you reach the hull. The shore or boat approach leads to a photogenic wreck with a deck, wheelhouse, and plenty of marine growth rather than a technical penetration puzzle. It suits divers who want a famous, clear-wreck tour with strong fish life and practical shore access. Fair conditions matter more than raw depth, because the site can get busy and current can move from calm to sporty.
