Dive-site story
Located off Zonqor Point in Marsaskala, this dive features two scuttled harbor tugboats sitting upright on a flat seabed. Both vessels were cleaned and intentionally sunk in the late 1990s to form artificial reefs. Divers usually navigate across the shallow rocky reef before dropping onto the sand where the wrecks lie a short distance apart, making it easy to explore both hulls on a single tank.
