How deep is 3 Milhas?

The North Jetty area sits around 8-10 m, with fringing reef and a reef flat nearby. It stays shallow enough for a relaxed reef dive, but the low visibility keeps navigation important.

How do you reach 3 Milhas?

You reach it by boat from the Singapore west side, usually through a private charter or scheduled dive boat. There is no public transport to the island, so the boat plan matters.

Is 3 Milhas good for beginner divers?

It can work for Open Water divers, but the low visibility and tide-sensitive current make it better for beginners who are already comfortable with basic navigation and close buddy spacing.

What facilities does 3 Milhas have?

The practical facilities are on the dive boat: toilet, changing area, freshwater, and guide support. The site itself is a boat drop with moored access.

What marine life is common at 3 Milhas?

Expect nudibranchs, pufferfish, tiger tail seahorses, silver moonies, sea slugs, butterflyfishes, feather stars, and the occasional sea turtle.

What should you watch for at 3 Milhas?

Watch the tide, current, and navigation line. Compass work and a close buddy pair help when the water gets dark or the current changes.

What visibility should you expect at 3 Milhas?

Plan for roughly 3-5 m on a normal day, with some days a bit better and some worse. A torch is useful because the water can get dark quickly.

When is the best time for 3 Milhas?

It is a year-round dive, but you get the best experience when the tide is favorable and the boat operator picks the calmer window.
