About Tug 2, Wreck
Tug 2, Wreck is a shallow artificial-reef wreck off Mauritius's west coast, sunk from a former port tugboat for scuba diving. The compact hull sits on sand near Snake Reef, so the dive is a slow circuit around the wreck rather than a long swim. It suits calm-water boat trips, steady buoyancy practice, and macro photographers looking for small subjects and reef fish.
