Diving Rozi Tug Boat

The Rozi is a former harbour tug, built in Bristol in 1958, that worked in Liverpool before coming to Malta in 1972 and towing ships in Grand Harbour until 1992. She was scuttled off Ċirkewwa on 10 September 1992 as an attraction for tourist submarine trips, which no longer run, and is now one of the most dived wrecks in Malta.

The wreck is around 35 metres long and sits upright and intact on sand, with only the engine and propeller removed. Her mast starts at about 20 metres, while most of the hull lies between 30 and 36 metres.

Rozi is a shore dive, about 130 metres from the Ċirkewwa entry point, and is often combined with the nearby Ċirkewwa Arch. Given the depth, bottom time is short, so plan your air and decompression limits carefully.
