Dive-site story
Located directly off Kampung Paya on the western coast of Pulau Tioman, this sheltered shore dive features a gradual sandy bottom interspersed with scattered coral bommies, artificial concrete structures, and patches of sea grass. It serves as a primary training ground and night diving location for local operators, where calm conditions make navigation straightforward along the coastline.
