Which other dive centers in Tioman have you tried?

Keropok lekor after dives

6am one looks good. The last few months timing was like 11am. So arriving Tioman also like most of the day gone edi. Next month's mersing schedule like dunno what though. Hahah.

Anyway, was told if driving, go to tg gemok better since mersing is always packed as the bus stop is there.

Er just trd. Coz my instructor is good friend to Rino. But so far im really satisfied with their service thats why quite reluctant to try some other dc.

You have any other suggestions?

Yes keropok lekor or pisang goreng with teh tarik prepared after every dives. Haha. Their prices are slightly expensive but then I appreciate this small little gestures and of course how the crews help bringing your tanks and bcd up to the boat and down from the boat.

I'm lazy and I love those keropok lekor. Hahaha.

Cos I heard some bad things about them like how their boatman fishes while waiting for divers when its a marine park..
How they feed this puffer fish sea urchins at their shore dives location till this puffer fish would get super close to divers expecting food ---> I met this puffer fish. scary shit

But I've never dive with them so I don't know 1st hand.

Hmm, i can recall once when i was diving at the Marine park, the boatman went underwater and started collecting coins from the seabed.

So far, i have not witness any thing like what you have mentioned though, its been great experience for me, touch wood.

I did heard about how their boatman tends to be rude sometimes, but i have not personally encountered this so far.

I guess the reason why i keep diving with TRD is because i am still hopeful to find the fin i lost during the night dive last time.

If Tioman I dive with U-Dive at Paya.

The ferry ticketing system there is always so confusing...and the aircond is also SUPER cold.

You remember which site was this? Wonder if I've met this guy lol.

Its at the shore dive for TDC and TRD.

Lol. What fin you lost? We found one side of a scuba pro jet fin at tiger reef before

I usually dive with Abect at tekek. Once with TDC, nice ppl too.

New ferry is quite alright already. Not cold at all lol. Sometimes if you lucky then sit new ferry

I hope bluewater is doing something with their ticketing system la. Usually we buy from one of our contacts, so far no problem. Otherwise also I get Abect to book it for me. Then again, I generally avoid peak seasons.

Lost one side of my Mares power fin. Yellow colour. Please let me know if anyone finds it T_T.

Ya the entire system run by Bluewater sucks big time. And the booking of tickets...pfft.... I actually booked my ticket from a tour office in SG and being charged sgd because tickets sold out at the bluewater office.

And as if the 2 hr journey is not tiring enough, once a singaporean couples missed their stop and the ferry has to turn back and drop them back to their stops. And because they turn back, some other people re enter the ferry assuming that the ferry is going back to Mainland.

Fuhhh.... The mixed up took another hour for me to reach tioman. But the dives I had so far were good and somehow compensated those rough journeys.

Thank God.

Hi guys, may i know if you travel oversea with flights, will you be able to pass thru airport security check with regulators in hand carry?

Hye guys,never know that lowyat also have scuba.Just went to Perhentian last weekend

Around there ler...
Depending how fast and tailing lorries or not ...

Thinking of driving there and board the boat also sienz edy... Those journey...

Yes can. I always hand carry my reg. just remember to remove any knife.

I see. Next time will try out tg gemok jetty

Good morning ...
In some dive centers I went, they actually have dive knife and SMB well stored up in their BCD. Like the one i went in Pattaya, I'm surprise to see that dive knife n SMB is well prepared in the BCD pocket.

Tanjong Gemok, not bad la... And it is very cold at night! Breakfast not much variety compare to Mersing.

how was Perhentian? Feels like I haven't been there in ages.

the new ferry at tioman is faster too...

Haha. My worse experience with the ferry was when it was 1. late, 2. stuck at tekek for a super long time 3. couldn't dock at the mersing jetty cause low tide cause late 4. had to take speed boat to jetty, 5. damn hungry cause way past lunch time already. The scheduled time was like 9am ferry back to Mersing. Wanted to extend our stay in Tioman already then. Hahah.

But Tioman is definitely worth the hassle.

The visibilty not very good, but okei lar.I love dive at T3 the cave so awesome.

T3 no cave la, its a swim through.

Its Rock Dive.. Cave take Ada but Hole Ada..hehe

hahaha okay my bad
