Jong South
Pulau Jong is a breathtaking dive destination located in Singapore's Western Islands. This tiny Rock Island is surrounded by a vibrant reef, offering an incredible underwater experience for divers of all levels. With a maximum depth of 17m and a visibility of 4m, Pulau Jong provides an ideal environment for both beginners and advanced divers.
The North Western side of the island presents an exciting opportunity for experienced divers, as it offers dives beyond 45m. On the Southern side, the slope gradually flattens off from 15-18m, creating a perfect habitat for an abundance of soft corals that flourish above 12m. To explore this captivating ecosystem, divers can descend down the buoy line (3 on the southern side) until they reach the edge of the slope at 15-17m.
One of the highlights of Pulau Jong is the impressive macro marine life that can be discovered throughout the dive. From Phyllodesmium serratum to Hypselodoris bullocki and a variety of phyllidia species, the biodiversity is truly remarkable. Keep an eye out for the majestic reef cuttlefish, often found in shallower reef areas, where they lay their eggs.
When planning your diving adventure in Singapore, be sure not to miss out on Pulau Jong. This captivating dive site, located in the picturesque Western Islands, promises an unforgettable experience for divers seeking to explore the wonders of the underwater world.
