Rozi Wreck - Gozo
The Rozi Wreck is a great dive for anyone looking for a solid wreck experience in Gozo. This small tugboat, scuttled specifically for divers, sits upright on the seabed and is surprisingly intact. You can swim through the engine room and explore the wheelhouse. We’ve often spotted moray eels peeking from portholes and schools of barracuda hanging out above the mast. It's a relaxed dive, usually with good visibility, making it suitable for newer wreck divers or those wanting a gentle second dive.
