MV AMANDA

The MV Amanda is our top wreck pick in Singapore. It went down on Christmas Day 2018, a bit of a present for local divers, and it’s still settling into its role as an artificial reef. You’ll find it mostly intact, lying on its starboard side at about 22 metres. We love dropping down and tracing the main deck, imagining the final moments. This wreck doesn’t have the grand history of some others, but its relatively recent sinking means it still feels a bit like a ghost ship. Visibility can be a bit variable here – it’s Singapore, after all – but even on a greener day, the wreck’s silhouette is impressive. Look for the resident batfish and barracuda often schooling above the bridge. Our favourite part is exploring the cargo hold, now home to pipefish and various nudibranchs. It’s a site that rewards multiple visits as new life colonises it, making it perfect for photographers and anyone keen on seeing a wreck transform over time.
