Macgicsion rock ~
Tioman Island is located in the north-west of the village salang leave salang village about 3 kilometers, is an abyssal plains , from the depth of between 17-22 meters , famous dive spots. I have been several times in recent years , individuals feel Fails To Impress , no spectacle , coral species dominated by hard coral , fish is not dense, in the Marine Park Authority under lax management , underwater fish cages can be seen everywhere , better fish cages to be placed on reefs , resulting in many coral dilapidated . Flow , as the case may be. Tide is water from north to south , south to north at low tide . Because no major undersea coral reefs or rocks , the best choice is to stop the flow . Never been can have a look. Here you can find undersea organisms blacktip sharks, yellow tail snapper , elephant ears , sea turtles, sea wolf, reef fish , sea slugs , etc., is a small number,
Roger wreck ~
One artificial reef , retired fishing boat sank underwater dive sites formed , shore diving dive sites can be reached , the village from salang dive shop dive asia swim in front of 270 degrees to about 100 meters , at 3-6 m depth look aRound about two meters high mushroom-shaped hard corals , and then move forward from facing 245 degrees about 50-60 m , depth 19 m bow , stern depth of 22 meters or so. Here gathered thousand of yellow tail snapper , large moray eels , cuttlefish, puffer fish and sea slugs . Hull has been eroded by the sea side of the tilt estimated more 2023 left a heap of rotten wood , water weak . Worth a dive dive sites ,
Salang jetty ~
Numerous big eyes always waiting for you, you can see under the pier box fish, moray eels , flathead fish, puffer fish , flocks of small sea wolf, cleaner shrimp , blade fish , lion fish and electric Fang . Is a wealth of dive sites . However, in this diving activities can be dangerous , because it is a busy marina , pay attention to the human surface vessels and fishing hooks .
Soyak island ~
Southwest 500 meters away salangjetty an island , island roughly the size of a football field , a complete reef , but mainly hard corals , depth 14 m , sea turtles, parrot wrasse , blacktip sharks, Napoleon wrasse , , horn fish, sea wolf , jack fish, puffer fish and coral fish. This is also the headquarters of sea slugs . Depth of 10 meters south-west there are two undersea sea fan , an area of about 2X2 meters . The water here is quite strong, but there are islands blocked off , the case as long as the currents are not free side of the island basically no big problem. It would be busy waters , to the attention of boats on the water .
Chebeh island ~
Position in the north-west of Tioman Island . Tunai island near a northern island. The island's east , north, west and can dive , this is my favorite dive spots. There is a complete rich coral reefs, sea fans and hard coral side by side. Sea off the north side of the island about 50 meters to more than 20 meters deep , where to go to 45-50 m . There are many big rocks underwater . Bottom of the formation of many interesting caves, almost able to see marine life Tioman domain , can find it here . Occasionally also see whale sharks . Dragon Dayton guest here . March-June and October are not under 30 meters visibility . Even able to go to 50 meters . ( Will be hidden )
Fan canyon ~
Tunai island to the east, a veritable sea fans are many and great, but many dive sites scallop natural water flow is strong . Here the best choice for diving activities at low tide moment. To go to 28-30 m depth , but most of the activities are carried out at 18-22 meters in Tioman want to see rats classes, where the most opportunity . Here's the amazing large scorpion fish ,40-50cm figure is not difficult to see . Only . Launching point from genting bay dive to head to ground some distance away 20 minutes before it can be said that the potential worth nothing .
Tiger reef ~
Tioman is located in the NW , sepoy island and labas island in the middle of pinched area, so the water channeling considerable urgency . Basic structure is the sea bed protruding two big rocks , small rocks do other sporadic distribution range of about 80 square meters , the most shallow rocky sea just 5 meters away from the top , most up to 24 meters , was named the world's four stars the dive spots. Here soft and hard corals distributed quite evenly . Is a hotbed of small fish , often seen groups of waves , jack fish, Haili , etc. In this predation .This dive site has roots launching point lead rope, lead rope along the water can reach the two large rock central , central interface between a rock and the rock formed cave. Through the cave along the wall to the right to make an 8-word write down around a week , takes about 40 minutes , where a wide variety of sea hares , small to large 2mm to 50mm in Aplysia can be found here . And micro- focus wide-angle shot is preferred . But in recent years the number of potential passengers visited frequently , want to see a surprising number of migratory fish would luck.Note , it is best to back up the guidewire to do action , SMB ( like Stubbs ) is a must.
Golden reef ~
Aka Gold Reef. Tiger reef and sepoy island located between the sepoy island less than 300 meters away , as close to the island , so the ups and downs caused by tidal currents corresponding strong . This dive site and tiger reef structure similar terrain , belonging to prominent seafloor rocks overlooking the terrain like horseshoe-shaped , formed underneath a lot of interesting caves, the entire atoll range of about 80 square meters . Depth of 7 m to 25 m . There is a large rock formation a 40 meters wide and 13 meters high cliffs, sea fans , soft and hard corals evenly distributed , where there was a long-term resident who , four meters long nurse sharks , hiding in caves during the day and sleep , want it to have good diving skills, enter the cave passage because only one person passed out when only the original route back. Here the most common is the migratory fish . Good luck to see flocks of long head parrotfish . March-April mating belonging Titan trigger fish spawning season , which is the dive must pay attention to its behavior. Many divers think they are unreasonable. But it 's move is mainly to protect juvenile fish or eggs to outsiders out of the nursery room . I gave four stars.Note , where you can dive very casual but should be noted that the flow. SMB ( like Stubbs ) is a must.
Labas island ~
Location Situated right in the tiger reef is composed by a large and small rocks , and sepoy island distant sea, forming leaning angle of the situation. Distance of about 1500 meters between , tiger reef and golden reef hidden in the waters between the two islands .As if the entire island arc bow shape , the island's eastern worth nothing , interesting diving sites in the entire west of the island .West can be divided into north and south two dive sites , depths ranging from 5-20 m between . Here is a paradise for micro-focus , some rare creatures such as zanzibarica shrimp and xinon crab can be easily found here .This island is the most important feature of many of the rocks underwater caves and channels , often makes a kind of failure looms , vista feeling..Note : Entering the cave is best to use frog kicking forward , with a good neutral buoyancy go into caves or dive along the side of the island . Although the cave is not long , but quite a number of interesting creatures inside , it is best to bring the underwater illuminator. Note on the surface of the water surface vessels , belonging to one of the most popular dive sites .
