Underwater World Singapore is an oceanarium located on Sentosa, an island off the coast of Singapore. It was open since in 1991 and has more than 2,500 marine animals of 250 species from different parts of the world. The oceanarium is underground and the Underwater World's ticket includes admission to the Dolphin Lagoon at Palawan Beach.

Underwater World has a 83 metre long travelator that transports visitors along a submerged 6 millimetre thick acrylic-windowed tunnel where they can view an array of marine life including coral reefs, stingrays, moray eels, turtles, sharks and other underwater creatures.

At the entrance of the Underwater World is the Touch Pool, where visitors can touch mild banded bamboo sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, puffer fish and sea stars.

The highlight of the Underwater World is a spectacular 83 metre long tunnel that is home to prowling predators and a host of other sea creatures.

The Dolphin Lagoon is home to a number of Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins, also known as "pink dolphins". Several "Meet-the-Dolphins" sessions are held daily to allow visitors to enter the waist-deep pool and interact closely with the dolphins.
