MESONGO

Mesongo offers a proper wreck dive, a rare treat in Singapore’s Southern Islands. This old carrier, built in Germany in ‘52, settled upright after it went down in ‘77, which means she’s relatively intact. We love how the stern really opens up, allowing for some easy penetration if you’re comfortable with overhead environments. Inside, the light plays off the metalwork, and you’ll often find schools of rabbitfish darting through the holds. Outside, the deck is a riot of colour, with sea fans and soft corals clinging to every surface. Look for nudibranchs, particularly along the railings, and we often spot bamboo sharks resting on the sandy bottom nearby. Visibility here is typically 5-10 metres, so it’s not for everyone, but for wreck enthusiasts, it’s a genuinely engaging dive. Go on an incoming tide for the best chance at clearer water, and be ready for a mild current around the bow.
