Dive-site story
Chebeh Island sits northwest of Tioman and features a dramatic underwater terrain dominated by massive granite boulders. Submerged swim-throughs, caverns, and deep crevices weave through the rock formations, leading down to sandy plains dotted with soft coral fans. Currents here attract pelagics, making it one of the premier open-water sites in the Tioman archipelago.
Extensive underwater granite boulder labyrinth with large swim-throughs and canyons
Schools of chevron barracuda and trevallies circling the outer boulder edges
Deep gorgonian sea fans tucked along cavern exits and sheltered drop-offs
Occasional passing whale sharks and manta rays during seasonal migrations
