Scuba dive on pristine coral reefs

You've checked your gear and done your buddy check. After the all "OK" you roll overboard and begin your descent. Like a zen master you explore the magnificent reefs of Tioman. After 45mins it's time to leave the ocean realm.

Scuba diving is relaxing but adventurous at the same time, there is so much to see on the tropical reefs of Tioman and what better way to explore then with friends.

In Kampung Tekek there are quite a few dive shops to choose from, please contact the dive centers directly to arrange your dive trip. If you are thinking about doing your Open Water or Advanced Course, consider doing your theroy online with PADI so that you dont waste valuable island time trying to learn dive theory.
