Pulau Jong South
Pulau Jong South: boat-access reef with a steep southern slope.
Pulau Jong South suits tide-aware boat divers who want a buoy-line descent, soft corals, and a macro-heavy reef in modest visibility.
About Pulau Jong South
Pulau Jong South is a boat-access reef dive around a tiny rocky islet off Singapore's southern coast. The southern side is the main line, with buoy-line entries onto a sloping reef, soft corals in the shallower band, and a mixed reef edge that rewards slow macro searching. It suits divers who are comfortable timing the tide and staying tidy when the current builds.

Local Intel For Pulau Jong South
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The southern slope is usually approached by boat and buoy line, then worked slowly as a reef search rather than a fast drift.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive target; the boat-only reef and strong current make scuba the safer fit.
Snorkeling
Casual snorkeling is only for very calm, guided conditions; the reef is better treated as a scuba site.
