Pulau Labas (★4.3)

This site is just off of Tioman Island and looks like swiss cheese. The rocks and boulders at this site create countless swim-throughs and canyons. Many nudibranchs and juvenile fish can be seen as well as turtles and blacktip reef sharks.

Scubapro, Stephen Frink

Renggis Island (★4.3)

One of the most famous dive sites around. Just some rocks and some trees above the surface, but put your face in the water and you will experience a pure tropical aquarium.

Mares, Janez Kranjc

Batu Malang (★4.3)

One of the most famous spots in Tioman, the name itself comes from the strange formation of rock hanging above, but not touching the water. This is quite a shallow dive with an amazing variety of corals and sea life.

Scubapro, Stephen Frink

Tioman Marine Park (★3.6)

Want to know what happens if fishing boats are not respecting the Marine Park rules? More than twelve boats are laying there! This dive site usually has quite a low visibility, which creates a strange mood while you navigate between the wrecks.

Scubapro, Stephen Frink
