This dive site features the wreck of a tugboat, purposefully sunk in the 2000s, resting at a depth of 6 meters on a sandbank. It serves as an excellent introduction to scuba diving and freediving due to its shallow nature and easy navigation. The wreck provides an artificial reef structure, attracting diverse marine life and creating a distinct focal point in an otherwise sandy environment.
The site is particularly known for its resident marine animals. Divers can observe various fish species, including charming balloon fish and slender trumpet fish, along with elusive lobsters hiding within the wreck's structure. The surrounding 'turtle meadow' is a highlight, offering frequent sightings of green sea turtles, and stingrays are often spotted resting on the sandy bottom.
The Tugboat is an excellent year-round destination, particularly suitable for novice divers and freedivers seeking a relaxed and rewarding experience. Its shallow depth and typically mild conditions make it perfect for multiple dives. Photographers can enjoy capturing both the wreck's structure and the vibrant macro life, as well as wide-angle shots of turtles and rays.
