Dive Trip At Pulau Satumu, Singapore
It has the distinction of being the southernmost island of Singapore, and hence the southernmost point in Singapore as well. Pulau Satumu houses the Raffles Lighthouse which was built in 1855.
Introduction
Pulau Satumu, which loosely translates to One Tree Island, lies about an hour of boat ride from Pasir Panjang Ferry Terminal.
This area, Pulau Satumu, attracts experienced divers because it has better marine life than anywhere else off Singapore.
At about a distance of 50 to 60 metres away from the reef, a cluster of wooden boats can be found. These boats are mostly without any hidden areas and so penetration into the wrecks is usually not needed.
After exploring the wrecks, you can proceed on to the shallower part of the dive site, where a very beautiful coral reef formation can be found. In this area, be prepared to see large families of clown fish, barracuda, angle fish and sometimes if you are lucky, you may find moray eels hidden in the rocky formations of the reef.
Do allow 1 week time for processing, booking for dive trip.
