Description

Tugboat 2 scuttled in June 2013 to form an artificial reef and an attraction for both scuba and freediving. Location 200 m off the coast of Exiles in Sliema at the depth of 23 m makes it probably the most popular wreck in Malta.  She was originally sunk on the sand parallel to the reef some 20 m distance, but a storms moved her in October 2016 and February 2019 and the wreck is now crashed into the reef with it's right side which can make hard to spot when the visibility is low. Tug 2 wreck is 30 m in length and 9.5 m height without the mast. It is safe to penetrate this open wreck, with many various options to swim through despite Possidonia debris slowly filling the wreck.
