TRONOH

Tronoh is one of those dives we always recommend for a quick fix from Singapore. It’s not deep, just 10 metres, so bottom time is generous, which is great because there’s plenty to look at. We love that you can spend a good chunk of a dive exploring the twisted metal of the steamship, which went down in a storm back in 1933. You’ll find schools of yellowtail fusiliers swirling around the hull, and often a few lionfish tucked into crevices. Look closely, and you might spot a moray eel peeking out from a pipe. Our favourite part is the bow section; it’s still fairly intact and makes for some great swim-throughs if you're comfortable with minor overhead environments. Visibility can be a mixed bag, as it is in Singapore, but on a good day, when the current is mild, you get a decent view of the whole wreck. It's a fantastic site for newer wreck divers to get a feel for penetration without serious risks, and photographers will find plenty of macro subjects, from nudibranchs on the coral growth to small crabs scuttling over the metal plates. We'd suggest aiming for a slack tide to really make the most of it.
