Tioman<\/a> is a small island in the South China Sea, a paradise if you like quiet beaches, a laidback atmosphere, snorkeling or scuba diving.<\/p>\n Arriving at Tioman island you are met by the sight of more or less empty beaches framed by swaying palm trees, and the view of green hills rising up to a huge lush jungle.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The small island is surrounded by turquoise colored and crystal clear ocean, which is home to a healthy and beautiful coral reef.<\/p>\n I couldn’t wait to dive into that ocean and see the marine life underneath, so as soon as we arrived I went to the dive shops close to our hotel. The dive shop called Blue Heaven Divers<\/a> appealed more to me than the others, and they had space on an afternoon dive the same day – success!<\/p>\n The dive shop also offered to have Matias and Sixten come along to go snorkeling during my dive, so we were all three excited.<\/p>\n This first dive was at the local dive spot Renggis island, and it was great. Healthy beautiful corals and we met a couple of white tip sharks about three times, as well as two turtles, who swam along with us. Wonderful.<\/p>\nDiving With Blue Heaven Divers\u00a0 at Tioman<\/h2>\n
