Poseidon Tec Dive Centre - Tioman Island
On Tioman’s quieter west coast, Poseidon Tec Dive Centre focuses on technical diving, as the name suggests. They run advanced decompression courses and sidemount training, making them a solid choice if you're looking to expand beyond recreational limits. For the everyday diver, they offer standard fun dives, but their real strength is in catering to those pushing deeper. We'd pick Poseidon if our dive plans involved serious gas planning.
