Dive-site story
Located off Singapore's southern coast, Pulau Hantu is the central hub of the country's local scuba community. The site features shallow fringing coral reefs, silt-covered slopes, and scattered seawalls surrounding two central islets. Despite chronically low visibility from shipping traffic and dredging, the murky waters shelter an astounding density of macro critters that reward slow, observant divers.
Prolific nudibranch diversity tucked along hydroid patches and coral rubble
Frequent encounters with resident tigertail seahorses clinging to seafloor fans
Night diving opportunities revealing nocturnal cephalopods and hunting crustaceans
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Diving occurs year-round, but the inter-monsoon and southwest monsoon periods typically offer the calmest conditions.
