Best dive operator on Tioman island, Malaysia

Hi All,

I'm off to Tioman for a couple of weeks in august and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the dive operators out there? I had a bit of a bad experience in another part of the world last year, so don't want to repeat the experience again this time around!!

Cheers,

James.

I have both good so-so experience with the dive operators there, I guess it is the same everywhere. just have to do some research before you engage one. I would highly recommend Tioman Reef Divers. They use speed boat to travel to the dive sites whereas some operators in Tioman use wooden bum boat which may take more travelling time. Also depends on which village you are putting up as some are further from dive sites. DMs are patience, owners are friendly (Japanese/Msian couple). I dive Tioman and Aur regularly so if you have further questions, feel free to ask. Have a great time in Tioman!

Hi.

Thanks for the reply - useful info. We're staying at Japamala which (I think) is on the s/western part of the coast so I'm not sure how long that would take us to get round from there to Reef Divers? I just checked the prices too - nice and cheap!

I suppose if you've got any recommendations about which dive sites to visit too (or any other things to do on the island as well) that would be really helpful, just can't wait to get out there to be honest

Cheers,

James.
