Why dive here
With 107+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles, whale sharks and pufferfish - MARCOM ZEBRA offers some of Tioman Island's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, November.
Marcom Zebra isn't your typical deep wreck; it’s a shallow, friendly tugboat that ran aground off Tanjung Agas. We love it because it’s perfect for a relaxed second dive, or even a snorkel if you’re keen. You’re looking at a maximum depth of five metres, so bottom time isn't an issue here. The tug itself is still pretty intact, lying on its side, and it's amazing how quickly the ocean reclaims things. We’ve spent whole dives just poking around the cabin, watching the resident batfish school around the mast. The wheelhouse is a highlight, surprisingly open, and often you’ll spot a moray eel peeking out from under a bulkhead. For macro enthusiasts, the hull is a treasure trove of nudibranchs and flatworms. It’s a gentle introduction to wreck diving, a place to really take your time and soak it all in without any pressure.
