Nice warm dive. Tug's tilted with last storm. The inside is buried in grass. Not many fish yet. Flabellinas. Reef is full of life.

Nice dive on the Tug 2 over reef and back. Lots of fish. Tug 2 is getting back full of life after it was stripped clean during 2016 storm.

61 minute dive. Being investigated by a shoal of Amberjacks that came very close. :-) On way back we found a football sized alive Giant Tun!

Good 60 minute dive. First ones on the wreck thus easy and silent. :-) Good visibility. 2 big scorpionfish. Lots of groupers and reef fish.

Even een stukje uitzwemmen, dan via rif naar het wrak. Kleine murene, nudibranch en wat standaard visjes. Swimthrough door het wrak.
TUG 2
Leuke en gevarieerde duik. Flinke afstand naar het wrak maar genoeg te zien onderweg. Mooi wrak met leuke swim throughs en veel soorten vis!

Goede duik. Langs scheiding zand-rif richting Tug2. Wrak raakt aardig begroeid, makkelijke penetratie en nog schoon aan binnenkant.

Malta
Tug 2 is sunk on June 20, 2013 to promote diving in the region of Sliema, St Julians. The wreck lies beautifully upright in the sand at a depth of 22 meters. You can reach Tug 2 from the shore, the ship is about 250 meters off the coast of Exiles in Sliema. To reach the ship you follow the dividing line between reef and sand untill you find the bow of the ship that sits in the reef. The dive here is sheltered from the wind and current therefore it is a good choice when westerly winds are strong.
Particulars
Type: tugboat. Length: 30m. Width: 7.5m. Height: 9.5m. Builder: Malta Drydocks. Original owner: Kalaxlokk Co. Ltd. Submerged in Malta: June 20, 2013. Deepest point: 22m. Enterering and leaving the water at restaurant's cay is preferred. Exiles Reef is very near as an alternative or second dive.
Warnings
A november storm in 2016 shifted the ship for 30 meters.
