DIVING IN TEKEK

Apart from the sporty Berjaya dive center, Tekek's most important dive centers are the Tioman Dive Centre and Moby Deck. Diving takes place between 2 m and 27 m, within a 20-minute boat ride. The best times to dive are from March to May and September to November; from June to August, visibility is considerably lower. The centers are closed from December to February. Tekek centers are PADI or NAUI certified.

House reef. Opposite Tekek beach, the shallow waters are ideal for novices and snorkelers alike. It's a good place to discover different varieties of coral and colorful tropical fish. A school of yellow-tailed barracuda.

Tomuk. Less than 10 minutes south of Tekek, the site drops to 20 meters. Large boulders form nooks and crannies to explore, lined with soft corals and home to nudibranchs. Perfect for macro enthusiasts. But a strong current can sometimes make diving difficult.

Tiger Point. This submerged pinnacle between the islets of Labas and Sepoi can be reached in around twenty minutes. The dive starts at 8 meters and descends to 22 meters. Powerful currents and rugged terrain require good control. This exceptional site is relatively uncrowded and therefore in very good condition. Slopes, canyons and rocks are carpeted with soft and hard corals and sponges. Large schools of mackerel, yellowtail bream, pike and trevally are seen on every dive.
