Tug boat Rozi Malta

Diving on the tug boat Rozi wreck - Malta 2004

The Rozi was sunk in 1991 as a tourist attraction for submarine tours in glass bottomed boats. These tours no longer operate, but the wreck continues to be visited regularly by divers. The Rozi is near to Cirkewwa ferry terminal and is marked by a large yellow buoy, and is a short surface swim of about 120m from shore. It lies upright in sand at around 33m. The wreck has been colonised by marine life and is surrounded by shoals of fish. There are resident moray eels, octopus, numerous species of fish, and the occasional nudibranch (vividly coloured sea slugs).

The Rozi was my first wreck dive and I really enjoyed it.
