Scuba diving in Singapore
Singapore's own dive sites sit in the Southern Islands, a short boat ride from the city. Most local centres train in pools and run their open-water dives and trips across the Causeway to Johor, Tioman and further afield.
Diving in Malaysia
Malaysia offers some of Southeast Asia's best diving: the marine-park islands of the east coast, and the walls and muck sites of Sabah, which dive year-round.
Diving in Brunei
Brunei's diving is centred on the coast near Bandar Seri Begawan, where boats from Muara and Serasa reach wreck dives and offshore reefs. It is a quiet, uncrowded destination close to Sabah and Labuan.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I go scuba diving in Singapore?
Singapore's local dive sites are in the Southern Islands, with Pulau Hantu the best known. Visibility is usually low, so most Singapore dive centres run pool training locally and take divers to Johor, Tioman and other Malaysian or Indonesian islands for open-water dives.
How much does an SSI Open Water Diver course cost in Singapore?
Prices vary by centre and by what is included, such as trip transport, accommodation and equipment. Compare what each centre's package covers rather than only the headline price, and check whether the open-water dives are local or on an overseas trip.
Why learn to dive with SSI?
SSI (Scuba Schools International) certifications are recognised worldwide, with more than 4,000 SSI training centres around the world. SSI training is delivered through affiliated dive centres, with digital learning materials and your certification cards kept in the MySSI app, so you can study before your pool sessions and show your card anywhere you dive.
When is the best time to dive Malaysia's east coast?
Tioman, Perhentian, Redang and Lang Tengah are generally dived from around March to October. Many resorts and dive operators close during the north-east monsoon, roughly November to February. Sabah, including Sipadan and Mabul, can be dived year-round.
