EXPLORE WITH US TIOMAN ISLAND´S UNDERWATER WORLD!
Tioman Island, or Pulau Tioman, is a small island located off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It has a fascinating history, as it was first recorded and mapped by ancient Chinese mariners who used it as a refueling and waypoint on their journeys to and from Singapore.
The island spans 137 square kilometers, with 98% of its land covered in lush rainforests that house a wide range of endemic species, including sea eagles, monkeys, and deer. Tioman Island is home to approximately 2,650 people, who reside in its six main villages known as kampungs, nestled amidst the dense jungle-covered mountains.
Discover its history
The richness of life on Tioman Island extends to its surrounding waters. The legend goes that the island formed when a dragon princess stopped to rest in the water on her way to see a prince in Singapore. So taken by its waters, the princess instead turned herself into the island, so she could forever enjoy its beauty. After diving here, it is easy to understand why this legend stands. Tioman Island has arguably the most beautiful coral gardens in the South China Sea with a wide variety of tropical reef fish, turtles, sharks, cuttlefish, and nudibranchs.
