Underwater World (13 May 1991 – 26 June 2016), also known as Underwater World Singapore Pte Ltd, was a former oceanarium located on the offshore Singaporean island of Sentosa. It had more than 2,500 marine animals of 250 species from different regions of the world.

Underwater World had a 83-metre (272 ft) long travelator that moved visitors along a submerged 6-millimetre (0.24 in) thick acrylic-windowed tunnel from which they could look at an array of marine life including coral reefs, stingrays, moray eels, turtles, sharks and others.
Dive with Sharks
Nightmare or dream, you can swim with sharks in Singapore! Underwater World offers the Dive with the Sharks program for children ages 12 and up. The program takes you deep into the tank and lets you meet sharks and other sea creatures over a 90-minute adventure (30-minutes of wet time). Jaws, show your stuff!
Dolphin Lagoon
The Dolphin Lagoon was home to several Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins, also known as the "pink dolphins". Several "Meet-the-Dolphins" sessions were held daily that allowed visitors to enter the waist-deep pool and interact closely with the dolphins. The ticket to the Underwater World & dolphin show did not include the direct contact with the dolphins, an additional photo-coupon had to be purchased. The lagoon also included a Dolphin Suite where visitors could watch the dolphin performance from within an air-conditioned area. In August 2014 the organizations Wildlife Watcher Singapore, in collaboration with Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, reported sub-standard living conditions for the animals. The pink dolphins have since been rehoused in Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, an oceanarium in Zhuhai, China
Closure!
On 6 June 2016, it was announced by operator Haw Par that the venue would close on 26th of that month. Its pink dolphins, fur seals and otters had been transferred to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai, China the week before the announcement.
