Info: at this site, you will be able to experience three wrecks in dive; Tugboat 10, St. Micheal tug, and P33 Patrol Boat. The first two are steel hulled and we’re sunk in 1998, and the latter is aluminum hulled was sunk in 2021. Max depth at the site is 21-meters (68-feet), and sits in northeast of the Marsaskala Bay, with the best shore entry coming from the north off Zonqor beach. Site has a sand bottom and is known for nudibranchs, eels and very rarely octopus and cuttlefish.

Dive 339 - was supposed to go to the wrecks at Cirkewwa again; this time the Rozi Tug and archway, which we missed on the first day of diving but they accidentally put an OWD with us so our max depth became limited to 60-ft. Not super happy about that, but nothing I could do either. Plus side ... I was rather hungover from drinking last night, so staying shallow and having an easier dive was not the worst thing.

Dive 340 - second dive was just rinse and repeat of the first. Mike, the dive guide, was nice enough to buy me a coffee. Other than that, we did see an octopus in cuttlefish on the first dive. We were told that is a rather rare sight since the local maltese people eat them, so their populations are very low.
