The rock formation on the north western side is the best with a good coral growth and lots of large Brain corals. It’s an easy dive over a sloping hard coral reef where we don’t have to go deeper than about 15m. We don’t visit this site that often so it is always refreshing to come here and explore the abundance of reef fish such as lion fish, scorpion fish, green and brown moray eels, jacks, nurse sharks and countless of butterfly fish.

KM Sipadan is a former Royal Navy warship that was put in service in 1964 under the name KD Sri Sarawak. It was renamed later to KM Sipadan and was decommissioned from Navy services in 2005. The Marine Maritime Enforcement Agency decided to make it an artificial reef and sunk it at the Sawadee dive site on 29th March 2012.

KM Sipadan is some 31meters long and 4.5meters wide and has been stripped of all weapons and it’s engine before it was sunk. It makes a perfect wreck diving site, especially if your are Nitrox certified since it allows for longer bottom times. Divers with Wreck Specialty and/or technical divers can even penetrate the ship!

It is connected by ropes to two other wrecks which we call Sawadee. These two former Thai fishing boats lie in a maximum depth of 30 meters, with a minimum depth of about 20 meters. The coral growth on the wrecks is not exceptionally good, but its fish life can be very attractive. Depending on the season the wrecks are a nursing place for several different species of juvenile fish like yellowtail barracudas and fusiliers. Next to other reef fish and nudibranchs you might be lucky and spot a stonefish, a Lionfish, a crocodile fish or even a small frogfish.

Right in front of the Tioman Marine Park lie more than 10 small shipwrecks. All of them were fishing boats which were confiscated for illegal fishing and then cleaned and sunk around the island. Each wreck is attached to the next with a line so finding your way here is not a problem. Visibility is usually rather low and also the fish life is not that fantastic, thus we don’t dive it that often.

Renggis is a small island which lies directly in front of the Berjaya Golf Club. It’s one of the favorite spots for snorkelers and divers alike. It’s a common choice for the third dive of the day and for a night dive off the boat.

We usually start the dive on the northern site at around 10m depth and dive along the sloping reef which is densely covered in hard corals to the south of the island. Large barracudas, turtles, cuttlefish and clownfish greet us along the way and once we reach the staghorn coral field it’s time to look out for the resident blacktip reefsharks.

These two wrecks are covered with a wide variety of soft corals. A giant grouper is often sighted at the wreck (or nearby Soyak island), as are schools of fusiliers, yellow tail kingfish and trevally. Lyre tailed wrasse follow you around and a black tip reef shark is sometimes seen. Usually combined with a dive to Soyak island.

This rocky granite island has dense tree growth above water and a beautiful coral growth beneath. As you descend you will be greeted by many yellowtail fusiliers and batfish, which might accompany you for the entire dive. This steep sloping reef formation is formed by massive granite rock boulders which are densely covered in fan corals (gorgonians) and black corals. The deeper part (18 to 30 meters) is full of brilliant soft corals, while the shallow part (14 to 5 meters) is full of very healthy hard corals. There are several swim troughs, and a cavern at 21 meters is home for thousands of tiny glassfish and juvenile barracudas.Chebeh is well known for its pelagics such as the large schools of barracudas, rainbow runners, black tip reef sharks, white tip reef sharks, jacks and trevallies. This site is amazing if the current is pushing. Chebeh’s resident marine life is too diverse to list everything here but you’ll definitely see angel fish, puffer fish, butterfly fish, giant wrasse, bumphead parrotfish, stingrays, moray eels, lion fish and vast variety of nudibranchs.

The South of the island has similar reef and marine life like Chebeh Island North, but with fewer rock boulders and its a shallower dive. At the beginning of the dive you swim over a sloping hard coral reef before you come to a small wall with lots of resident nudibranchs. After this you reach some small rock boulders which are beautifully covered in soft corals, and some rather narrow swim throughs. Towards the last 10 minutes of the dive you reach a large staghorn coral field with good chances to spot hawksbill turtles, moray eels and cuttlefish.

A small rock collection located in front of the white sandy beach of Coral Island is known to the locals as Batu Malang – The Unfortunate Rock. The saga says that the top-rock has never touched seawater before and is therefore considered unfortunate.Batu Malang is one of the favorite dive and snorkel sites on Tioman Island and a perfect dive site for the second dive of the day due to is maximum depth of around 16 meters and an average dive depth of less than 10 meters. Batu Malang is blessed with an abundance of hard coral such as staghorn, table tops, potato, flower corals and coral bommies. Since it’s so shallow, you have brilliant light and therefore amazing colors. Many of the sponge eating hawksbill turtle are seen here; the reef cuttlefish (sepia) make use of the potato coral reef to secure their eggs and clown anemone fish (Nemos) are found literally everywhere. On changing tides one can drift at the deeper part over whip coral covered bottom, where moderate currents bring in barracudas and lonely cobias.Batu Malang is also our choice for discover scuba students because of its shallow reefs and the guarantee to see a large variety of marine life such as; turtles, cuttlefish, lion fish, moray eels, black tip reef sharks, parrots, wrasses, blue dotted stingrays, scorpion fish and butterfly fishes just to name a few.

At the deeper part of the dive site we find on almost every dive large scorpion fish and dozens of nudibranchs.

At 16m there is a nice (but narrow) tunnel worth swimming through because of its thousands of tiny anchovies. From here we swim back into the Genting Bay to do our three minute safety stop at 5m over the beautiful hard coral reef.

Fan canyon has some of the greatest variety of nudibranchs and flat worms among all dive sites and we still find new ones on almost every dive, so keep your eyes open and your macro lens on the camera.

The resident marine life you can find here are angel, puffer, bat fishes, emperors, titan trigger, parrots, butterfly, nurse sharks, scorpions, stingrays, yellow striped snappers, moray eels and zebra lion fish.

Labas resembles a piece of Swiss cheese due to its abundance of caverns/swim-throughs.

If we head north towards the tail of the island then we come to all the swim-throughs which are only between 6m and 12m deep. At the end of the island we come to a sloping rock formation that brings us down over soft corals, sea fans and barrel sponges to around 21m. From here we head to the other side of the island and then back again through a fairly narrow opening in the rocks. Trust us you’ll love it!

Another option is to start the dive by heading south towards the so called head of the island. This is an easy dve with an average depth of less than 15m and a place where we often spot blacktip reefsharks and turtles.

Exploring the labyrinth of swim through or gliding along the dense coral garden, no matter which one you choose, it’s sure to leave a lasting memory.

The resident marine life you can find here are angel fish, puffer fish, barracudas, titan trigger, rainbow runners, butterfly fish, napoleon wrasse, nurse sharks, black tip sharks, stingrays, moray eels, lion fish and a good variety of nudibranchs.

Not only divers, but also snorkelers will find big schools of bumphead parrot fish, clownfish, nudibranchs, schools of reef fish or even hawksbill turtles. This is mainly a hard coral reef, built of staghorn, table, brain and blue corals. The housereefs are also a macro heaven with nudibranchs, sea horses (if you’re lucky), hingebeak shrimps, saddleback clownfish, moray eels, pipe fish, shrimps and much more.

From February to March you can observe the mating season of our local reef cuttlefish. During this time they lay thousands of eggs into the reef, which are then again a food source for turtles. A perfect opportunity for underwater photographers to get close and take some unforgettable images.

The house reef is also one of our prime sites for night dives, where you will have an amazing muck dive with sleeping turtles, rabbit fishes, parrot fishes, hunting yellow head moray eels, bamboo sharks and a myriad of craps and critters.

Kador Bay can also be an amazing drift dive, if the current is right. Then we literally fly out of the bay and around the corner of Coral Island – an amazing experience.

The fairly small Sepoi island is usually our second dive site of the day after visiting i.e. Tiger Reef, Golden Reef or Labas.

The rock formation on the north western side is the best with a good coral growth and lots of large Brain corals. It’s an easy dive over a sloping hard coral reef where we don’t have to go deeper than about 15m. We don’t visit this site that often so it is always refreshing to come here and explore the abundance of reef fish such as lion fish, scorpion fish, green and brown moray eels, jacks, nurse sharks and countless of butterfly fish.
