    The TDB house reef is a reliably mellow spot, perfect for getting back into the swing of things or for those taking their first fin strokes. At a consistent 8 meters, it’s a calm introduction to Tioman’s shallow water inhabitants. We often see resident cuttlefish here, doing their colour-change dance, alongside plenty of young parrotfish munching away. It’s a comfortable, easy dive where you can truly relax and just observe.
