Soyak Island is very close from Tioman Island. The dive site is very easy and perfect for beginners or a night dive. The current varies from none to medium and the water is usually very clear. The reef life is really spectacular with many different species of fishes such as barracudas, bumphead parrot fish and lionfish. There also some turtles and a great variety of nudibranch. This is a very good dive site for underwater macro photography! It is also a great place for snorkeling.

This location is a Reef.

Best time to dive: the ideal period to plan holidays here isFebruary to March. Access: from the Shore. See the map of Soyak Island on the right for the exact location.
