MANO NO.11 - Southern Islands

Mano No.11 is a serious piece of steel, plain and simple. We love that it’s a big wreck, sitting upright, with plenty to explore for those comfortable at depth. Dropping onto the deck at around 30 metres, you're immediately struck by the sheer scale – it’s 109 metres long, a proper ship. We’ve found the stern section particularly interesting, where the propeller still sits, usually encrusted with colourful hard corals. Visibility here can be a bit of a mixed bag; it’s Singapore after all, so expect anywhere from 5 to 15 metres on a good day, rarely more. It’s best suited for experienced divers with good buoyancy, comfortable with decompression, as bottom times quickly add up if you’re trying to cover any significant portion of the wreck. Look out for schools of snapper hanging in the superstructure and the occasional turtle resting on the deck plates. There's a real sense of history down there, a proper steel graveyard colonised by the sea.
