Site details

The 105 Tug is a sunken tugboat off the Alabama/Pensacola coast, roughly 14 miles offshore in about 100 feet of water, and is a popular charter wreck dive noted for abundant fish life. It is grouped with the Navy Tug and 151 Tug in dive-magazine coverage of the region's sunken tugs. The compact wreck offers a wheelhouse to explore and surrounding sand where rays and bottom-dwellers are found.
