Top Wildlife Sightings in Singapore
Singapore's waters boast a vibrant marine ecosystem, featuring an array of typical reef fish like damselfish, parrotfish, and butterflyfish. These species are commonly seen around the Southern Islands and are known for their colorful appearances and frequent presence in coral garden areas, providing divers with captivating underwater experiences.
Seasonal highlights include sightings of larger marine creatures such as blacktip reef sharks, green turtles, and eagle rays. These animals are more likely to be encountered during the northeast monsoon season, from November to March, when nutrient-rich waters invite them closer to shore. Divers in areas like Pulau Hantu and Sisters' Islands have a higher chance of encountering these notable species, making the dive sites particularly appealing during these months.
