The now-closed Underwater World Singapore.
MORE THAN FOUR years after a scuba-diver died after being stung by a ray in a Singapore oceanarium, the company behind the now-closed facility has been found guilty of lapses in safe diving procedures.
The diver, Philip Chan, 62, was senior supervisor at Underwater World Singapore (UWS) on Sentosa Island. His 25 years of experience at the facility were relied upon in the facility’s day-to-day diving operations, though it now seems that the way in which he and his team operated was too informal.
