Singapore - worth diving?

[hedonist222]

Family and I may be on holiday in Singapore. Mid October.
Worth getting a dive or two in?

Why bother?
Even Tioman is probably closed by mid Oct.

Pulau Hantu, a real muck dive.

Hi,

I'm Singaporean and regularly dive at Pulau Hantu, one of the few dive sites in Singapore.

The viz in Singapore waters is a hit or miss. On good days you could get about 3m-5m and on bad days as low as 0.5m.

The marine life there is reasonable and diverse but it all depends on patience and luck. As what Searcaigh said, it's a real muck dive.

Most dive sites on the East Coast of Malaysia now close at the end of October or even early November - certainly Tioman and Tenggol, from personal experience. Conditions are a little more challenging and visibility is lower, but still decent.
