    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Pulau Salu West is one of those quieter Singaporean spots, a mellow dive perfect for stretching the fins on a weekend. It's a shallow potter, topping out at 16 metres, which makes it ideal for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon under the waves. We’ve found the currents here are usually pretty gentle, a nice change of pace. You'll likely spot small schooling fish darting amongst the coral rubble, and sometimes a nudibranch or two if you’re looking closely. It’s not going to blow your mind with massive pelagics, but for a convenient, easy dive, it definitely gets the job done.
