ENFIELD - Southern Islands

The Enfield is a serious dive for those looking to explore a piece of Singapore’s maritime history. Resting at 53 metres, this motor vessel, sunk after a collision in 1980, demands careful planning and appropriate gas. We’ve found the stern section generally more intact, with some interesting penetration opportunities for trained wreck divers into the cargo holds. Keep an eye out for schooling yellowtail scad and the occasional batfish patrolling the superstructure. This isn't a dive for beginners, but for experienced deep wreck enthusiasts, it offers a rewarding glimpse into the past.
