GLENROY (POSSIBLY)

Okay, let's talk about the *Glenroy*. Or at least, what we think might be the *Glenroy*. This isn't a dive you do for big pelagics or technicolor coral, but it's a slice of history tucked away in Singapore's busy waters. We love the detective work involved here; there's a real thrill in descending onto a shape that's definitely a ship, knowing its story but still piecing together the puzzle of its identity. At just 10 metres, it's an accessible wreck, though the visibility can be a bit of a gamble. When it's good, maybe 5-7 metres, you can really make out the ship's frame, the ribs, and sections of the hull, now draped in soft corals and sponges. We've seen schools of fusiliers darting through the superstructure, and the resident batfish here are surprisingly curious. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs, too; they love the growth on the metal. It’s a dive for those who appreciate the quiet dignity of a forgotten vessel and the persistent march of marine life reclaiming it. Our favourite moments are hovering over the main deck area, imagining the steamship’s bustling past, now home to pipefish and damselfish.
