Sitting comfortably off the coast of Malaysia is a tiny little island that offers massive opportunities. Tioman Island has some of the most spectacular diving that you can find in the waters surrounding southern Asia, with an incredible variety of life and some of the most amazing sights that you will see under the water. One of the strongest diving features of Malaysia is that the waters are absolutely teeming with macro life, large marine creatures that are as majestic or as terrifying up close as anything you can think of. From the rare views of massive whale sharks ponderously crossing the waters to the shooting schools of trevally that are so much more massive than you would believe, coming in at more than five and a half feet and over 180lbs, these are just some of the beautiful beasts that you will see under the waves. That doesn't even begin to explore all the different kinds of diving that is available! From muck dives to wrecks and even further into some of the best reef diving in the world, there are chances in the waters that you won’t want to miss.
Of course, with all this going on, you don’t want your topside time to be a waste either. Tioman Dive Resort is the perfect place to take a breather or explore the island itself, a land filled with wonder and opportunity. The dive resort’s eleven spacious guest rooms are highly rated, comfortable and luxurious. Situated in the tiny village of Air Batang, Tioman Dive Resort offers a comfortable and relaxing respite from busy homelife and a great way to spend your time when you're not with B&J Diving Centre, the PADI 5 Star CDC facility that operates on the resort grounds. This exclusive dive operation does daily dives for the guests of Tioman Dive Resort, offering incredible opportunities for divers of all ages and skill levels to enjoy the waves, whether you are a master diver or just a beginner.
Everything is designed from the ground up to make your diving experience, both in and out of the water as enjoyable and easy as possible. Over the course of a seven-night stay, you can have more than eighteen dives, with seventeen guided boat dives, one night dive, and an unlimited amount of shore dives to top it all off. And after all of that, you can relax down at the beach, sip on something cool and refreshing and prepare yourself for doing it all again the next day. The perfect way to spend a vacation in paradise.
