Dive-site story
Pulau Soyak sits off the headland of Salang Bay on Tioman Island. Granite boulders tumble to a sandy seabed, forming corridors, swim-throughs, and overhangs encrusted with sea fans, soft corals, and leather corals. Small rays and nudibranchs shelter along the sand edges, while two sunken fishing vessels rest on the seafloor nearby.
