TUGBOY

Tugboy. We love this site. It’s not about depth here, it’s about history and a surprising amount of life in a very shallow wreck. The tug itself sits in less than a metre of water, the bow often poking above the surface, a weathered monument to its past. We’d suggest a calm day, because even small waves can stir things up and make for a bumpier experience trying to peek around the engine room. What you'll find is a surprisingly intact vessel, its metal structure now a lattice of rust and coral. Small reef fish dart between the exposed plates and beams – clownfish, damselfish, and the occasional juvenile snapper. Look closely, and you’ll spot nudibranchs grazing on the algae that coats the hull. The light here is incredible, filtering through the clear shallows and illuminating every detail. It's a fantastic spot for photographers looking for unique shallow wreck shots, and for anyone who appreciates the intimate interaction of history and nature.
