dive in tioman island

You'll get to see turtles, stingrays, cuttlefish, jellyfish, eels, giant clams, starfish, batfish, pufferfish, angelfish, clownfish (Nemos), sea stars, sea cucumbers, sea fans, barracudas, boxfish, parrotfish, sergeantfish, rabbitfish, sea urchins, groupers, sweetlips, cardinalfish, lizardfish, dameselfish, wrasses, filefish, squirrelfish, lionfish, porcupinefish & etc...

This will cost you about RM70 per person. There're many places charging the same price.
You can try trips arranged by Salang Sayang Resort.
You'll be taken on a long journey starting at 10.30 a.m till about 5.00 p.m. Some of the stops will be at Juara, Paya, Renggis Island (This is a very small inhabitant island. You'll stop here for a snorkeling session...many jump in to see sharks...just the small one) and a nice cold waterfall which I can't remember where.
One unforgettable experience I had was during my last visit there. While snorkeling at Renggis Island, one of the tourist from Holland (Roxy, my snorkeling partner) knocked her foot at a sharp coral...as a result everyone rushed her to the nearest hospital...she got a few stiches...not allowed to wet her foot...but she was fine the day after n left for Cherating with a bandage on her foot...
