The dive sites at Tioman are mainly reefs fringing the island. Hence, gentle reef slopes, no dramatic walls and no strong currents make these places perfect for beginners. Occasionally, you'll get some patch reefs. Coral life is abundant. Large nudibranchs and plenty of anemones create the ideal biology classroom for beginner divers because everything is easy to spot and doesn't require a magnifying glass.
