Tioman Dive Centre, Pulau Tioman

A million thanks to the whole TDC team for a very special week in Salang. This is a dive centre made up of great professionals who genuinely care about teaching safe diving to their students and about the health of the reefs. We chose to dive with them due to their positive references and the excellent communication with Ziela over whatsapp. She helped us find the perfect accommodation and personally welcomed us on the jetty. The diving equipment is tended to by Matt and Hannes and in pristine condition. The transport of the equipment to and from the jetty is done by motorbike/sidecar, which makes everything easier. The boat is comfortable to dive from and masterfully driven by Amin, who doubled as a great DJ during the surface intervals. Underwater we were guided by Along, who apart from being an experienced instructor has a sixth sense to detect amazing things to see underwater. The surface intervals are spent in beautiful locations (Mangrove Bay, Monkey Bay) while having something to eat and drink. Overall, Hannes' team was always in a good mood, respectful, helpful and punctual while maintaining flexibility if needed. I cannot recommend their services enough and I'm already counting the days until our next visit!

Super easy booking with the dive centre, they settled everything for us from the ferry tickets to the accommodation. Instructor was very professional and helped us learn at a comfortable pace, allowing us to pick up the skills slowly and confidently. The team at the centre were all really helpful and friendly:)) would highly recommend!!
