If you think the ocean is mesmerising on the surface, wait till you get inside. It’s a different world beneath the waves. The shimmering surroundings, the waving flora, miles of colourful coral ranges or the abundant fauna gliding and darting through the currents in an almost hypnotic fashion. Each time you descend into the water, you are going to experience something mesmerising.

We are not telling you how amazing the world underwater is to entice you to get certified. We are telling you all this because we have been there and we know it’s worth it! As avid divers ourselves, we understand that the most important reason to get certified is safety. Every PADI-certified dive lesson will teach you the right techniques and safety measures to ensure that you enjoy every dive you’ll ever make.

TIOMAN – DREAMY AND DUTY-FREE TROPICAL PARADISE.

A tropical paradise on the east coast of Malaysia. Tioman Island is much, much more than just a beautiful dive destination. It’s a haven of relaxation aimed at reconnecting you with nature.

Because of its duty-free status, visit the town for a spot of shopping to enjoy great value on tobacco, alcohol and most definitely – chocolates!

Hike pas laidback villages, beyond cascading waterfalls and find yourself stumbling upon idyllic beaches with glittering emerald water all around this wondrous island.

Off the white sandy shores of Salang Beach and Monkey Bay are extensive coral reefs teeming with a wide variety of marine life. Reef sharks, sea turtles and if you’re lucky, the gentle giants of the sea – the whale sharks. Many great reasons for a spot of diving.

Due to its location, the best time to visit this island is between early March until the end of October to enjoy guaranteed clear visibility and a calm sea.

Once you’re done with the fauna of the ocean, head towards the large boulder structures in the depths that create mazes of swim-throughs. They are also stunning coral reefs and many wrecks off the coast; old and new.
