Tekek House Reef - Tioman Island

Tekek House Reef is a handy little spot, especially if you’re just getting your fins wet or want a relaxed afternoon dive. The maximum depth is only 8 meters, making it perfect for brushing up on skills or just enjoying some shallow water exploration. You'll often find a good mix of smaller reef fish here, think clownfish darting in anemones, pufferfish idling about, and sometimes a turtle munching on the corals. It’s a solid pick for beginners or those days when you just want an easy, unhurried dip right off the beach.
