Moby Tek - Tioman Island
Moby Tek operates out of Kampung Air Batang, commonly known as ABC Beach, and they’ve built a solid reputation among divers visiting Tioman. While a lot of centres focus solely on recreational diving, Moby Tek definitely stands out for its technical diving offerings. If you’re looking to extend your bottom time, venture a little deeper, or get into rebreathers, these are the folks to talk to. We’ve found their instructors have a knack for making complex concepts approachable, and for recreational divers, that same depth of knowledge translates into very thorough guiding, especially on Tioman’s trickier sites.
