Dive Into Five Ocean Worlds: Inside Singapore’s Immersive Deep-Sea Journey
| Descent | Begin your journey as you drift through calming shades of blue, gradually leaving the familiar surface world behind. |
| Photic Zone | This is where sunlight still penetrates the water. Discover vibrant ecosystems filled with microorganisms, plankton, and even environmental DNA sourced from Singapore’s Southern Islands, brought to life through engaging displays. |
| Twilight Zone | As light fades, explore dimly lit waters where powerful ocean currents and temperature shifts play a crucial role in regulating Earth’s climate. |
| Aphotic Zone | Venture into complete darkness and extreme pressure, where strange landscapes and remarkable deep-sea creatures exist — highlighting just how much of the ocean remains unexplored yet vital to life on Earth. |
| Resurface | Return to the surface with a deeper understanding of marine conservation. Learn about restoration efforts, including seagrass habitats and coral specimens on loan from the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum. Visitors can also take part in interactive activities focused on seagrass restoration in Singapore. |
