Why dive here
With 263+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, dugongs, giant moray eels, seahorses and sea turtles - THAI HOON NO.1 offers some of Southern Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, November.
The Thai Hoon No.1, a motor vessel that sank in 1984 while en route to Kota Kinabalu, rests upright at 33 meters, making it a decent deep dive for Singapore. We've found the visibility can be a bit of a gamble here, often hovering around 5-10 meters, but on a good day, you can make out the bow and stern quite clearly. The wreck itself isn’t huge, but there are plenty of nooks and crannies for resident groupers and barracuda to hide in, plus we’ve seen some decent schools of fusiliers swirling around the superstructure. It's a proper wreck dive, best for those comfortable with deeper profiles and varying conditions, offering a solid chance to explore a piece of maritime history right on Singapore's doorstep.
