Hi Anthony,
Sadly, Singapore waters are not known for diving and most of us folks tend to visit islands around Malaysia and / or Indonesia which are usually just a coach ride / short flight away.
There was a similar post on diving in Singapore before and I think you might be able to get your answers there http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=129032
Hope this helps.

Don't know about the diving but I did live there as a non-diver for many years (wasted more than a decade not diving...yes I'm a fool).
Singapore itself is a very clean, very built up city, lots of tasty food, many shopping centres & some interesting architecture. I condsider it the least frantic & smoggy of the SE Asian capitals. Western tourists all love it there.

Anthony, there are some diving options in Pulau Hantu to test your low vis skills if you're keen on that. There is volunteer groups here who does coral watch and beach cleanups... check out their sites at:

We're talking serious muck diving.. expect vis of 3 m, 5 m on a fantastic day.

Do a search and recovery course, if you like a challenge

Since the original poster was asking about diving in Singapore itself, let's leave it at that. I try to refrain from recommending nearby Malaysian/Indonesian islands.
Anyway, for the record, if the person is willing to venture out of Singapore, the options are Tioman, Rawa, Aur, Pemanggil and Bintan.

Jason, haven't been to Redang yet this year. But the latest news I got for these coming few weeks is the islands of Tioman, Perhentian and Redang are overbooked. In fact, Star Cruise is coming to Redang this coming weeks (where on earth the large boat is going to dock? *shivers*)
Trying to steer within the topic, Redang is quite far from Singapore and probably not milktrayman's best option.
