The Tug Boats are the St Michael and the 10. The length of the st Michael is 20Mts and the No 10 (which is a second world war tug) is of 16Mts. The two tugs were scuttled on the 16th may 1998 as part of a plan to create an artificial reef and a diving attraction at Zonqor point south of Malta.

The site is particularly well chosen as it is protected from prevailing north-westerly winds and can therefore be dived when other areas are unreachable due to bad weather conditions.This site is ideal for all level of divers.
