IGARA (BOW SECTION)

The Igara’s bow section is a moody, deep dive, and for us, it’s one of Singapore’s more compelling wrecks. Sitting upright at 38 metres, she’s become a massive artificial reef, and the sheer scale is impressive. We usually descend onto the deck, where the anchor chains spill out like giant metal spaghetti. Look closely, and you’ll spot schooling fusiliers, bannerfish, and sometimes even a solitary great barracuda patrolling the mast. Inside, the forward cargo holds are open, a cavernous space that draws in photographers. We’ve found resident giant morays tucked into the darker corners, and the occasional lionfish drifts lazily past. Visibility here can swing wildly, but on a good day, the light filtering down from above makes for a truly dramatic scene. This isn’t a beginner’s dive; strong currents can appear, and it demands respect, but for experienced wreck divers, it's a fantastic, atmospheric dive, offering a tangible connection to a piece of maritime history.
