Zonqor Point is towards the Southern side of the island and is famous for two famous tugboats that rest here. They are the St Michael and the No.10 tugboat which lie in the center of the harbor entrance right beside each other. Entering by shore is often done from the north east side of the harbor, but be careful for the rocks there. They can bruise your legs or worse when not paying attention. They were scuttled for tourists in Marsascala Bay and nowadays are often done in one nice dive. There is also a very nice and shallow reef of 12 meter deep reachable from shore.
Free swimming baby morays will greet you on your swim towards the tug wrecks. But goatfish, octopus, nudibranches and stingrays are common as well. Don't expect to be blown away by the amount of fish or by the wrecks. They are nice but this dive site is definitely not the number 1 dive you would like to do while being in Malta.

Editor: Lars Hemel Have fun breathing underwater, but breathing above water is even more important!
