HYUNDAI NO 105

The Hyundai No. 105 is a serious dive for serious wreck heads. We’re talking a colossal vehicle carrier, sitting upright at 46 metres, making it one of the deepest accessible wrecks in Singapore. The sheer scale of it is what gets you; those massive holds, designed to swallow thousands of cars, now open to the dark blue, creating cathedral-like spaces. Penetrating the main deck is a real thrill, but you need your wits about you and solid wreck diving experience. Even from the outside, the hull is thick with growth, mostly soft corals, some anemones, and large schools of fusiliers and snapper hanging around the superstructure. Look closely and you’ll often spot batfish patrolling the holds and barracuda lurking in the gloom. Our favourite part has to be the bridge area; it’s a chaotic tangle of metal and life, a perfect spot to shine your torch and find nudibranchs or perhaps a shy reef crab. It's an advanced dive, demanding good buoyancy and gas management, but the rewards are immense for those who appreciate the silent power of a sunken giant. We’d suggest diving this on a slack tide to minimise current.
