Scuba Diving Malaysia-Pulau
Tioman
Tioman Island
(peninsular
Malaysia)
considered one of the most beautiful islands in the world; Tioman
Island is the largest and most developed of the volcanic islands
that make up the Pahang Marine Parks. The other islands are Pulau
Renggis (Renggis Island), Pulau Sepoi (Sepoi Island), Pulau Labas (Labas
Island), Pulau Soyah (Soyak Island), Pulau Chebeh (Chebeh Island),
Pulau Tulai (Tulai Island), Pulau Sembilang (Sembilang Island) and
Pulau Seri Buat (Seri Buat Island).
In 1958,
Pulau Tioman was chosen to be James Michener's fictitious Bali
Hai for the filming of the Hollywood classic, South Pacific. Since
then, Tioman Island became a popular tourist attraction especially
among underwater explorers.
There are over
20 dive sites around Pulau Tioman:- Kador Bay, One Tree Bay, Batu
Malang, Chebeh island, Labas Island, Magician Rock, Tiger Reef,
Golden Reef, Soyah island, Renggis island, Marine Park, Tokong
Bahara and Tokong Burong.
Favorite Dives:
Northern Pulau Chebeh.
Large boulders slope down to about 25 meters providing divers with
interesting
exploration through the many swim-through tunnels. The hard coral
terrain is interrupted by numerous soft corals, sea fans and black
corals at the deeper end. Blue spotted stingray can be seen at the
sandy bottom while moray eels, parrotfish, butterflyfish and
sweetlips stay close to the corals
Tiger Rock.
Regarded as one of the top dive sites in Tioman, this
submerged reef is worth the dive despite the stronger
 currents. The
reef is located in the open sea and is accessible only by dive boat.
Hard and soft corals make up the seascape. Schools of glass sweepers
and cardinal fish seek refuge in crevices while rainbow runners,
barracudas, jacks and bumphead parrotfish swim in the blue water.
Seafan Garden.
Excellent site
to see sea fan. In between the crevices and the seafan are glass
sweepers darting about. Also a great site to observe colorful
nudibranchs on the walls of the coral block.
