Why dive here
With 263+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, dugongs, giant moray eels, seahorses and sea turtles - POLAI offers some of Southern Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, November.
The POLAI wreck sits upright on the seabed off Singapore's Southern Islands, a 56-meter tanker offering a substantial dive. Dropping down to 37 meters, you'll find the hull largely intact, providing plenty of structure to explore. We've often spotted schools of batfish circling the mast, and the sheltered nooks within the wreck itself are home to smaller critters – think nudibranchs and flatworms if you’ve got a keen eye. It’s a decent dive for those with wreck experience looking for something a bit more substantial than the shallower reefs here.
