The Rozi Tugboat Dive

The Rozi tugboat in Cirkewwa is an interesting dive giving you the opportunity to explore the underwater marine life

The Rozi is a 40 m tugboat that was purposefully sunk in 1991 in Cirkewwa and is one of the most popular dive sites in Malta today.

The dive starts from the shore with a swim over one of the most beautiful reefs in Malta towards the wreck which is only 150 m away from the shore and very easy to find as it is marked by a large yellow buoy. The Rozi wreck is still intact in an upright position at about 34 m, except for the engine and the propellers that have been removed. 

Thanks to this, the engine room and the wheel house are now empty and can be safely entered; while exploring the rest of the wreck is also possible. Behind the wheelhouse you can dive into several doorways and explore different rooms.

The beautiful clear blue waters around the Rozi are filled with a lot of fish including rainbow wrasse, cardinal fish, lots of Sea breams and scorpion fish. The Rozi dive in Malta is a spectacular dive that can be combined with the Madonna Statue dive. If you have time, explore the reef on your way back as it offers a few swim troughs in the rock and has a very rich marine life.
