Tiger reef is definitely one of the best dive sites of Tioman island and is a highlight! It is an underwater pinnacle starting around 10 m and going down to 22 m deep. The current can sometimes become quite strong so you need to have your open water advanced to dive this site. There are many boulders covered with hard and soft corals as well as barrel sponges. If you are very lucky and during the right season you can even see a whale shark! Prepare your camera
Best time to dive: the ideal period to plan holidays here isFebruary to March. Access: from the Shore. See the map of Tiger Reef on the right for the exact location.
