Orpheus Dive - Southern Islands

Orpheus Dive operates out of Singapore's Southern Islands, offering trips to local sites like 202. Conditions here typically mean shallower dives, often with reduced visibility, but you can still find nudibranchs and small reef fish. We'd suggest Orpheus Dive for those looking for convenient local diving or to clock some bottom time without a longer journey.
