EVERISE GLORY

The Everise Glory isn’t just a sunken ship; it’s a time capsule, a huge metal beast resting on the seabed off Singapore’s Southern Islands. We love this dive because it’s a proper deep wreck, a freighter that went down in 2005, and it’s been allowed to just… be. Dropping down, you’ll start to make out the superstructure, then the sheer length of her, 151 metres of steel. It’s a dark dive, often, with visibility that can drop, so bring a good torch and keep an eye on your buddy. We’ve seen giant groupers here, big boys lurking in the shadows of the cargo holds, and often schools of fusiliers so thick they block the light from above. The deck is carpeted in soft corals and hydroids, swaying gently in the current, and you’ll spot nudibranchs clinging to the metal. Our favourite part? The bridge area. It’s a bit eerie, thinking about the last moments on board, but it’s also where the marine life really congregates. This dive is definitely for experienced wreck divers comfortable with depth and sometimes challenging conditions; it’s not one for a quick splash. Be aware of the dangerous wreck classification, which means penetration is not advised for recreational divers.
