Why dive here
With 263+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, dugongs, giant moray eels, seahorses and sea turtles - TOSA MARU (STERN SECTION) offers some of Southern Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, November.
Okay, the Tosa Maru’s stern section. This isn't just another chunk of metal, it’s a proper deep wreck dive, and frankly, one of Singapore’s best if you know what you’re doing. Dropping onto the stern at 40 metres, you immediately feel the scale of this tanker. We love exploring the huge propeller, often shrouded in schooling fusiliers, their silver bodies flashing as they dart through the gloom. Visibility can be a real mixed bag out here, but on a good day, the structure itself is impressive. We've spent dives just slowly tracing the deck lines, peering into collapsed hold sections. Look closely for the resident bamboo sharks tucked under ledges, and we often spot substantial groupers lurking in the shadows. This is a dive for experienced wreck enthusiasts; the depth and potential currents mean you need to be comfortable in low visibility and have solid buoyancy control. Get it right, and it’s a truly rewarding dive.
