CONDOR

Condor, sitting at 60 meters, is a proper technical dive, and it’s our favourite wreck in Singapore for a good reason. This bulk carrier went down in 1990 after a run-in with the MV La Plata Maru, making it a relatively young wreck but already beautifully colonised. You’ll feel the chill as you descend into the thermocline, and then the dark shape of the hull starts to resolve. We love how the visibility, often around 5-8 meters on a good day, forces you to get up close, revealing the details. The wreck itself is intact and upright, resting on a silty bottom. Schools of fusiliers often swirl around the mast, and we’ve seen barracuda circling the superstructure. Penetration is possible for trained divers, with cargo holds that invite exploration, though silt-out is a constant consideration. We'd suggest aiming for a slack tide, particularly during neap tides, to minimise current and maximise your bottom time. This dive is for experienced technical divers comfortable with depth and limited visibility; it’s a real challenge but incredibly rewarding.
