Dive-site story
Pulau Jong is a tiny, dome-shaped island in Singapore's southern waters, resembling an overturned junk when viewed from afar. Below the surface, steep submerged slopes and fringing coral reefs yield to silty channels where tidal streams flush nutrient-dense water across massive barrel sponges and sea fans. Because of its exposed position near active shipping channels, diving here revolves around slack-water windows to avoid fierce currents.
