Boat access and site logistics are best handled by a local operator.
TLU 2 is an offshore wreck-style dive in the Gulf of Morrosquillo, a former tanker-loading platform that was sunk and turned into an underwater park. Reached by boat from Covenas, it pairs easy operator support with a compact structure, gentle currents, and a lively reef community that suits certified intermediate and advanced divers.
