LAUT LANCAR

Laut Lancar is our top pick if you're looking for a proper wreck dive in Singapore. Forget the usual scattered debris; this is a recognisable ship, a motor vessel that went down in '87. We love dropping down and seeing that distinct silhouette emerge from the gloom, usually around 20 metres. The wreck itself is a playground for advanced divers, settling at a maximum depth of 38 metres. There’s a real sense of history here, the metalwork slowly succumbing to the sea, becoming a home for all sorts. Look closely and you’ll find nudibranchs clinging to the hull, and schools of fusiliers often swirl around the mast. We’ve even spotted big groupers lurking in the shadows of the engine room. Penetration is possible for trained divers, but honestly, just exploring the exterior, drifting over the deck, and seeing the life that’s colonised it is a solid adventure in itself. Visibility can vary, so aim for slack tide to get the clearest views.
