Why dive here
With 107+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles, whale sharks and pufferfish - B&J offers some of Tioman Island's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, October.
B&J, right off Tioman’s coast, is one of our favourite house reefs. We're not talking about some deep, dramatic drift, but an easily accessible site that just keeps giving. Drop in and you’re instantly surrounded by schools of blue and gold fusiliers, so thick they almost obscure the sun. We love that you can just spend an entire dive in the shallows, maybe ten metres down, spotting brownbanded wrasse darting between the enormous honeycomb and brain root corals. Keep an eye out for the small giant clams tucked into the Pavona, their mantles a surprising splash of colour. It’s a fantastic spot for a relaxed second or third dive, or for photographers who want to spend ages framing shots of greenband gobies on the sand. The currents are usually mild here, making it really approachable for newer divers or anyone who just wants to take their time. You might even luck out and spot a chambered nautilus if you’re particularly observant, though they’re shy. We often suggest going early morning before the boat traffic picks up; it just feels more peaceful.
