Discover the underwater wonders waiting to be explored

Soyak Wreck (★4.3)

In front of Salang, in the deepest part of Soyak Island, are two wooden wrecks covered with soft and hard coral. You must have a deep diver certification.
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.
Scubapro

Chebeh East (★4.1)

Here there is a large boulder above and underneath the water; Chebeh Island is one of our favourite dive sites as the underwater landscape is beautiful with lots of strange rock constructions, forests of hard and soft coral and several swim-through areas full of glass fish. I

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.

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.

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.
Aqualung

Fan Canyon (★4.2)

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.

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.
Mares, Predrag Vuckovic

Tiger Reef (★4.2)

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.
