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 coralsTiger 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.
