Diving Reviews for this region
Tioman island
Nice and easy diving in clear water and beautiful coral reefs. Good location to take diving courses.
Nice Dive. Lots of fish life. Plenty of butterflies.
Tuiai Island was where my son and I completed our Open Water Dive Course with Tioman Dive Center last week. It has points where we got to more than 18 m but generally most of the aquatic life was at 10 to 15m. We dived at two locations known to locals as Coral Bay and Batu Malang. We got to see schools of fish and it was quite an experience.
