Underwater World Singapore Pte Ltd, commonly known as Underwater World (Chinese: 新加坡海底世界) is an oceanarium located on the offshore Singaporean island of Sentosa. Opened in 1991, it has more than 2,500 marine animals of 250 species from different regions of the world. The oceanarium is underground and it is owned by the HawPar Corp. The Underwater World's ticket includes admission to the Dolphin Lagoon at Palawan Beach.

Underwater World has a 83-metre (270 ft) long travelator that moves visitors along a submerged 6-millimetre (0.24 in) thick acrylic-windowed tunnel from which they can look at an array of marine life including coral reefs, stingrays, moray eels, turtles, sharks and others.

Underwater World is also involved in several environmental and educational projects, such as the Living in the Ocean Programme, Ocean Ambassador Programme and the Coral Club.

The Underwater World also provides exclusive venues to host events, such as ocean-themed functions.

The Dolphin Lagoon is home to several Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins, also known as the "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. The ticket to the Underwater World & dolphin show does not include the direct contact with the dolphins, an additional photo-coupon of S$15 has to be purchased.

On 6 December 2006, Underwater World Singapore launched three new attractions — an interactive stingray feeding pool, a display of small marine reef species, and 'Fish Reflexology', Singapore's first fish reflexology spa, where two species of doctor fish gently nibble away at the dead skin on visitors' feet. The new features cost S$650,000.

This was amid major plans that were being proposed for Sentosa's Integrated Resorts. Genting Group's S$5.2 billion proposal, Resorts World, will feature the world's largest oceanarium — the Template:Convert/hectare Quest Marine Life Park — which will house 700,000 marine animals in a 30 million litre lagoon. Rival bidder Kerzner-CapitaLand's proposal will have an even larger marine habitat, with a capacity of 109 million litres, including the world's largest jellyfish enclosure and an artificial reef for diving and snorkeling.[1] A week later it was announced that Genting International won the bid.
