SST
Why dive here
With 263+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, dugongs, giant moray eels, seahorses and sea turtles - SST offers some of Southern Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, November.
The SST wreck, a bulk carrier that went down in 2012, lies in the relatively shallow waters off Singapore’s Southern Islands. You're looking at a maximum depth of around four metres, making it a great spot for newer divers or those wanting a relaxed, longer bottom time. The wreck itself is quite broken up, but you can still make out the general shape of the hull and some superstructure. What we really enjoy here is seeing how quickly the marine life has moved in – expect to find small schools of fusiliers darting around the metal, plenty of damselfish, and if you’re patient, a few moray eels tucked into crevices. It’s not a grand, intact ship, but it’s a living reef now, and we think that’s what makes it interesting.
