Event Location, Dive sites

Aqualung

North Point (★4.3)

A beautiful dive to see lots of colorful nudibranchs along the wall. Watch your gauges on the wall to make sure you do not go too deep. Careful, the current can be quite strong during high tide.
Mares, Janez Kranjc

Batu Malang (★4.2)

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.
Mares

Soyak Island (★4.2)

In front of Salang, this small island is ideal if you like nudibranches and underwater landscapes. Lots of rocks are offering shelter to dozens of different species of fish.
Scubapro, Stephen Frink

Renggis Island (★4.2)

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.
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.
Mares, Predrag Vuckovic

Chebeh West Deep (★4.3)

Pulau Chebeh is cream of the crop when it comes to dive sites around Pulau Tioman. Situated around 30-40 minutes away by speed boat North of the main Pulau Tioman, the uninhabited Pulau Chebeh offers pristine reefs that extends well below 30m. Currents are typically strong here and drift dives are common.
Aqualung

Fan Canyon (★4.3)

Outside of a small bay covered with strong coral, a slope of granite boulders creates a canyon, over time this canyon has now become full of gorgonian corals.
Mares, Janez Kranjc

Pirate Reef (★4.0)

Drop into the ocean and follow the sand, suddenly a beautiful reef full of hard corals appears in front of you. This dive site is ideal for a relaxed dive as it is small enough to slowly dive around it a few times, and usually has minimal current.
Ryan F. (#2881313)

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.
Mohd Hafizi A. (#3061014)

Tekek House Reef (★4.0)

south of Tekek House Reef is a generic stretch of beach reef used by all centers for courses and scuba try-outs. The beach entry is smooth and calm, just watch out for rocks during low tide. The reef extends from the shore towards 8m depth and transition into a sandy bottom.
Mares, Predrag Vuckovic

Tiger Reef (★4.3)

This beautiful rock formation in the middle of two small islands is covered largely by soft coral. The current can be quite strong at times, attracting a lot of marine life.
