One of the dive sites we run here in Malta — here's the story behind it, the depth and access, and what it takes to dive it properly.
Tug 2 is a small tugboat scuttled off Sliema as an artificial reef, sitting upright in shallow water. It's an easy, accessible wreck — ideal as a first wreck dive, a training site or a night dive, and often combined with the nearby HMS Maori. Years underwater have turned it into a tidy little reef, with plenty of life sheltering in and around the hull.
Good news: this site is well within reach of recreational and advanced recreational divers — no technical certification needed to enjoy it. Come and dive it with me, and when you’re ready to push deeper into Malta’s technical sites, here’s where to head next:
Already certified and just want to dive it? Come and explore it with me on open circuit or CCR — one relaxed dive a day, no rushing, as long in the water as you like.
Want to dive Tug 2? Tell me your certification level and your dates, and I'll plan it with you. No pressure, no hard sell — just a good dive.
