To give an example you can go for a livabourd to the Similan Islands or just hang around at Phuket or Phi Phi islands and go for some day trips - not bad at all. Just check it out, it's defenetely woth it.    Report

But it will be great if you can tell us about the stages of the Marina construction going on at Tekek . Hope it does not affect your trip by waking up looking  at "working barges " instead beautiful serene view of the sea ,  fishing boat in sleep mood.!         Report

We manage to saw 5 black tip reef shark each about 5 foot schooling around us and we also manage to capture them in our camera video. A bit frightening in the begining but that was a good experience. I thing too much discovery and animal planet channel at home. Dive site at Renggis. We also saw a big moral Eel and i mean a big one. Dive site at Renggis about 12 metre deep. School of barracuda, hundreds of them was found at Tumuk dive site. Variety of nudi branch was found actively at this site and of course clown fish. Another good dive site. Our last dive was at Pirate Reef. Visibility was bad but we manage to saw variety of lion fish and scorpion fish at the wreck. Well sting ray was quite big and we also saw a crocodile eel i think. (need to check the bible). Malaysia goverment have put another 70 concrete for coral near pirate reef previously 11. Hopefully corals will grow in the coming years. Well the construction at marina did not do much damages to others dive site. Its still the best and budget dive site to me when i want to have a good weekend away from the city.

05-26-2006, 11:47 PM kit Joined on:09-22-2005 Posts 6 Re: Tioman diving Hi nakeddiver, Well we plan to go Pulau Aur in Mid June and Phuket in Mid August. for Tioman Island maybe in Mid Oct. The construction did not does much damage to the coral except the construction site. The rest of the dive site looks good except the visibility is a bit bad, i think due to weather. But is still a island worth of its beauty. For divers its still a dive site to learn from aqs you will never know what you will see (unexpected). For me, I will still stick to my books, look for local master dive master to see experience the site. Believe it or not. Renggis is the best dive site. although is only 12 to 18 metres. you will experience enviroment at different time. I always request for this dive site when i go to Tioman Island. Best Regards Kit, Eelin and buddy.    Report
