    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Pirate Reef sits at a shallow 16m, making it a good spot for newer divers finding their fins. We often find schools of yellowtail snappers here, along with the occasional moray eel peering from a crevice. It’s a gentle introduction to Tioman’s fringing reefs, a nice second dive of the day when you're just looking for a relaxed swim.
