 Tioman Island is blessed with sparkling blue waters, beaches of fine white
sands, and prolific coral gardens fringing the coast. Around the underwater promontory,
the water is crystal clear as far down as 100 feet. Within the cool glassy depths is a
veritable underwater paradise teaming with a rich variety of corals, fish, and shells.
Included among these delights of the deep are the magnificent acropora corals, delicate
sea fans, and the alyconarian soft corals. The multi-hued staghorn coral can also be found
in abundance. Bright colored fish swim among the corals in flashes of vivid neon hues.
Among these are the sweetlips, cardinal fish, parrot fish, wrasses, butterfly fish, damsel
fish, and the aggressive anemones fish. The seemingly gentle sea anemones beckons
gracefully with soft gentle tentacles. Once within its grasp there is no escape for the
marine creatures.
The best known season for diving
here is between May and October when the water is at its best. Bring along your underwater
camera for some of the best underwater shots of your lifetime. Or just swim amidst the
colorful underwater garden and drink in the fascinating sights. The popular spots for
scuba diving and snorkeling are along the shallow reefs at Salang beach and the nearby
islands of Tulai and Renggis. More
