A beautiful wooden tugboat named Aquanaut is located just half a mile south of Sambo Reef and nearby Toppino's Reef and Joe's Tug. This 55 foot long wreck owned by Chet Alexander sank in dock and was scuttled in 1967. Penetration of its wheelhouse is safe while other areas are not because of its many loose wires. Upright and intact at the sea bottom, she is a wreck that has attracted many species and which has become a favourite for many divers.

After the last series of storms in 2005 the wreck seems to have disintigrated. It was in poor shape to begin with and had less life than Joe's Tug nearby.
