Which dive site will we visit?

The Bristol Beaufighter lies upside-down on a pristine sandy seabed at a depth of about 37 to 38 meters. When divers descend to the wreck, they can explore the intricate details of this small but intriguing airplane. The aircraft’s pulley systems, engine mechanisms, and even a tire from the plane’s wheel can be seen. The tail of the aircraft is situated about 5 meters away from the main body.

The Tug 2 wreck near Sliema, Malta, offers a nice dive site for enthusiasts of all levels. Originally built by Malta Drydocks in 1975 for the Chinese Government and named Tuo Lun Er Hao, this tugboat has a long history. It was involved in the China Dock project in Grand Harbour, Valletta, and underwent several name changes before being decommissioned and eventually acquired by Bezzina Marine Services Ltd. in 2000.

As the dives are done quite far from shore, there is a possibility that the diver will start surfacing before returning to the boat. For safety reasons, we insist that each diver has a personal safety buoy (SMB) and recommend a marine or pneumatic whistle.

About Buddy Boat:

Our boat is originally designed to be safe for active sports: Scuba diving and freediving but retaining the comfort of a private yacht: lounge area, kitchen, shower/toilet all on board.
We’ll be happy to see photographers, biologists, archeologists and marine researchers on board.
