Why dive here
With 263+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, dugongs, giant moray eels, seahorses and sea turtles - TERUSHIMA MARU offers some of Southern Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, November.
The Terushima Maru, a 102-meter motor vessel, rests upright at 22 meters just south of Singapore. She went down after a collision in 1973, thankfully with all hands safe. We’ve found her to be a compelling dive, especially for those who appreciate history and the way nature reclaims man-made structures. You can explore her decks, which are now heavily encrusted with soft corals and sponges, providing shelter for a surprising amount of macro life. Look closely, and you’ll often spot nudibranchs, small crabs, and even some moray eels tucked into crevices. While visibility can vary, on a good day, the sheer scale of the wreck is impressive, making it a good pick for divers comfortable with deeper wreck exploration in variable conditions.
