What a wonderful Tioman :)

Tioman is a gifted island in eastern part of Malaysia, with beautiful scenery which include corals and sea-livings. Rated as the paradise of corals, Tioman offers great sea experience that no one could ever forget.

Situated in the state of Pahang (one of Malaysia's 14 states), Tioman is surrounded by plenty of coral-reefs, making it the favorite spot for divers around the world. Apart from its sea-life diversity, Tioman is also known for its reserved rainforest and various protected species of mammals.

Dive Tioman! Isn't it exciting? Yes it is. Tioman has a couple of dive sites that will definitely blew off your mind. Do refer Gallery section for a more pictured post-experience before you really go to Tioman :)

I am not a diver, but I remember when I went to Renggis and Marine Park for snorkelling, the nature is just fantastic!

Still remember how I fed the fish right in front of my eyes.

At this point of writing, Tioman can be reached through both air (flight) and water (ferries and speedboat).
