PETER RICH

The Peter Rich is, without a doubt, our pick for Singapore wreck diving. A big girl at 153 metres, she sank in '83 and has since become a proper artificial reef. We love descending onto that massive hull, feeling the current tug, and knowing we're about to explore something substantial. The ship lies on her side, so you’ll find plenty of nooks and crannies to peer into, even at her shallow 10-meter max depth. We’ve seen everything from schooling barracuda circling the mast to giant groupers lurking in the cargo holds. Look closely, and you’ll spot nudibranchs tucked into the crevices and even the occasional bamboo shark nestled amongst the soft corals that have started to colonise the structure. It’s a fantastic site for photographers keen on wide-angle shots of the wreck’s scale and macro enthusiasts ready to hunt for smaller critters. Just keep an eye on the occasional boat traffic overhead.
