    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The MARS wreck, lying at 10 metres in Singapore’s Southern Islands, is the remains of an old barque vessel. It's quite broken up now, scattered across the seabed, but the frames and hull plates still offer some interesting nooks and crannies. You'll often find schooling fusiliers, snapper, and the occasional batfish hanging around the structure, making it a decent spot for newer wreck divers or those looking for a relaxed, shallow dive.
