    Takong Sangoe is a straightforward dive off Tioman, often used as a check-out dive or for those looking for something relaxed. We've seen reef sharks cruise by the rock formations and nudibranchs grazing on the corals if you look closely. It's not a site that will blow you away, but it's a solid option for knocking off some rust or taking newer divers out for a gentle swim.
