JENSON

Jenson, for us, is a proper technical dive and one of Singapore’s most interesting deeper wrecks. This 63-meter motor vessel went down in 1991, headed for Sungei Rajang, after springing a leak. We love the way she sits upright on the seabed at 57 metres, largely intact, offering some fantastic penetration possibilities if you’re appropriately qualified and equipped. Dropping down, the first thing you notice is the sheer scale, the bridge still largely recognisable, with the cargo holds open and inviting. Visibility can be a bit of a mixed bag here, sometimes a good 10 metres, other days more like five, so be prepared for a bit of a low-viz adventure. Look out for schooling fusiliers, often swirling around the mast, and we’ve seen some surprisingly large groupers lurking in the shadows of the holds. It’s a serious dive for experienced technical divers; the depth demands good gas planning and solid wreck diving skills, but the rewards are there.
