Hantu Island

Hantu Island (or Pulau Hantu, as it is known locally) is located in Singapore waters, just a short boat ride off the southwest coast of Singapore. With 2 individual islands, Hantu Besar (Big Ghost) and Hantu Kecil (Small Ghost), visitors can actually walk between the islands during low tide. Although Pulau Hantu is located in the close vicinity of Pulau Bukom's refineries, they still boast a very rich reef collection, popular amongst snorkelers and divers alike.

Unlike Malaysia, Singapore is not very affected by the North East monsoon during the months of November to February so Pulau Hantu is an ideal dive site all year round. Do expect to find plenty of hard and soft corals, especially mushroom corals.
