King Tug - North Shore

The King Tug, resting at a comfortable 12 metres on Bermuda's North Shore, is one of those wrecks we keep coming back to. She's not deep, but what she lacks in depth, she makes up for in character and sheer explore-ability. This isn't just a pile of rubble; it's a remarkably intact tugboat, lying on her port side, inviting you to peek into every nook. We love dropping down and finning along her length, especially on a sunny afternoon when the light streams through the wheelhouse windows. You can easily penetrate the engine room and crew quarters; we always find ourselves marveling at the scale of the machinery still recognisable inside. Schools of grunt and snapper are everywhere, swirling into the darker spaces as you approach, then spilling back out. Keep an eye out for moray eels tucked into the crevices, their heads swaying gently. The King Tug is perfect for anyone who enjoys a good wreck dive without the pressure of extreme depth or current. It's a fantastic site for photographers, too; the light play inside is just fantastic.
