There are two diving spots off of Singapore that&#8217;s only a boat ride away. <a href=\"https:\/\/sgmarineguide.com\/cruising\/loc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Pulau Hantu<\/strong><\/a>, meaning &#8220;Ghost Island&#8221; in Malay, is just off the southwestern coast of Singapore. It comprises two islets: Pulau Hantu Besar (Big Ghost Island) and Pulau Hantu Kechil\/Pulau Hantu Kecil (Little Ghost Island). Legend holds that this is where ancient Malay warriors would duel to the death, and there their ghosts wandered. But, the name could also refer to how the region between the two islets come and go depending on the tide. During low tide, you can even wade across the shallow lagoon.<\/p>\n<p>The reefs at Pulau Hantu have remained vibrant even as they&#8217;re close to nearby refineries. When you dive you can still see the abundance of mushroom corals, where the clownfish and angelfish roam. If you&#8217;re lucky enough, you can even spot the giant clam and seahorses. No wonder Pulau Hantu remains popular for ardent fisher, scuba divers, and snorkelers; it&#8217;s one of the easiest Singapore diving day trips you can plan.<\/p>\n<p>There are no regular ferry services to Pulau Hantu. You&#8217;d have to charter a boat from West Coast Pier. Rates may vary depending on availability, fuel prices, and others. However, you need to know that these boats are not intended for leisure trips and are not designed for comfort. You have to get past Immigration Control at West Coast Pier to get to the boat. They only accept IC (Singaporeans) and passports with FIN numbers (foreigners). They won&#8217;t accept any other photo ID accepted, and children need to bring their bus card.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re more experienced, you can try and explore <a href=\"https:\/\/sgmarineguide.com\/cruising\/local-spots-singapore-boating\/pulau-jong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Pulau Jong<\/strong><\/a>, which is 3.5 nautical miles away. Local folklore tells us that the island was where the Malays attacked an invading Chinese junk. The captain (the Nakhodah) woke up as the pirates were about to board the junk. The captain yelled when he saw the pirates, and the yell was so haunting that the sea spirit turned the ship into an island.<\/p>\n<p>Still brave enough to venture there? There&#8217;s a rocky reef around the island, where you can try and catch a glimpse of the marine wildlife on the reef. Black-tipped reef sharks have found a nursery there, and sea turtles forage amidst the seagrass on the western front. Though strong currents surround the island, so you&#8217;d have to be careful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metroresidences.com\/sg\/learn\/how-to-book#contact-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Looking for studio for rent in Singapore?

This marine park offers exotic coral reefs and marine life. It also has the widest range of coral reef species in Malaysia. There is no accommodation at this marine park, so simply book a resort stay at Langkawi and take a 1-hour boat ride from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more exciting experiences in Malaysia, head over to Sarawak to dive in the <\/span><b><i>Miri-Sibuti Coral Reefs National Park<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. It has one of the greatest diversities of coral and marine life in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Love an encounter with big fishes?

It\u2019s part of the Coral Triangle of the world, which means that 20% of the world\u2019s coral reefs can be found there. From macro critters to the majestic manta rays, the islands of Indonesia offer a plethora of marine life for divers of any level. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Located right off the northwest tip of Papua, <\/span><b><i>Raja Ampat<\/i><\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is one of the most popular sites in Indonesia, and for a good reason. The fact that this collection of islands are remote means that divers are guaranteed pristine water and the location is home to the world\u2019s richest marine biodiversity. Most of these resorts and boats offer Nitrox filling facilities, so we&#8217;d recommend taking an Enriched Air Nitrox Course before heading over. Getting there from Singapore can be a tad cumbersome, but we guarantee it\u2019s absolutely worth it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Diving at <\/span><b><i>Togian Islands<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is comparable to Raja Ampat, if not more exciting with its clear water and hundreds of coral species. One of the best dive sites here is the aircraft wreck of a WW2 B24 Allied bomber. However, it is not an easy location to get to, so we suggest considering this trip over a long weekend to save yourself an additional day of leave.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other dive sites to check out include<\/span><b><i> Komodo Island, Pulau Weh, Bali<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><b><i>Lombok Islands <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">for some spectacular dive experience.
