Greetings!  

I recently learnt about a large wreck off the coast of Singapore and I have not dived it before.  Not Sudong wreck, not Hantu wreck, but another wreck!

Some dive buddies of mine dived it last weekend and said it was awesome, worth two dives, they said.  So I am doing just that!

If you love diving wrecks and can't take the whole weekend off to go diving.  Then this is just for you.  No passport required.

See full details below.

The Legend of the Sisters Islands 

Legend tells of a poor widow who had two pretty daughters, Minah and Linah who were very close to each other. After the widow died, the sisters left the village to live with a distant uncle.  

One unfortunate day, Linah met a group of pirates while fetching water from a well near the sea. Frightened, she ran home with the pirate chief giving chase. At the uncle's home, brandishing a dagger, he made known his wish to marry Linah. That night, the two sisters wept bitterly in each other's arms. When dawn broke, the pirate chief and 16 of his men came to take Linah away. Clinging to each other, they were forced apart by the pirates, and Linah was carried away. The desperate Minah swam after the boat but was drowned and Linah dived into the stormy waters in grief.  

The next day, the villagers were shocked to see two islands at the spot where the two sisters had drowned.  

The two tranquil islands, called Subar Laut and Subar Darat, was henceforth known as Sisters Island.
