TRY DIVING! OFFICIAL SAFE PADI HALF DAY EXPERIENCE

* PADI : Professional Association of Diving Instructors, the World's leading Scuba Diver training organisation. 

In the past, Scuba Diving was considered an activity only more affluent people could do. You would need to be ready to pay ~ S$600 for a Diving Course over 4 - 5 days before you could be officially certified to Dive.

(Lucky Yous! I learnt Diving 4 Years ago and didn't have this Cool opportunity to try Diving out first before I was ready to commit the time and money for the official License!) 

a Certified PADI Diving Instructor will teach you the Basics and Need to Knows of Diving, using your Equipment.

You will try out your Equipment in the shallow waters on the Beach / Shore, learn the Basic Hand Signals for communication Underwater.  

There after you will be equipped in same gear as regular Divers to go for your very first 45min Dive Underwater!

* This is purely an introductory experience meant to help people get a feel of Diving if it is for them. You would still need to do a proper official 4-5 day course should you desire to be officially certified as a Diver!

DIVE ON THE LESS TOURISTIC SIDE OF TIOMAN

The West (left) side of Tioman Island where the Ferries drop People off are indeed crowded and Diving on this (left) side is not very nice anymore due to over population, pollution.. I first learnt my Diving there. 

Fortunately I discovered the quaint East (right) side of Tioman Island on my quest to seek out a Turtle Conservation Centre on this (right) side of the Island.

We'll need to take a 20min Jeep ride across the Island to the other side! Not many people know about this unless they know to specifically stay there! 

Here there are less Tourists than on the West / left side, though it is quickly gaining more and more popularity with bigger Resorts being built on this East / right side of the Island! 

Diving here is still pretty nice, you can actually see Corals, Fish - unlike in the West / left side where I think I just most saw dying Coral and like a billion Sea Urchins! 


EDUCATIONAL VISIT TURTLE CONSERVATION CENTRE, JUARA TURTLE PROJECT (IF TIME ALLOWS)

Other than Learning Diving we can also spend some time to pop by the Turtle Conservation Centre Juara Turtle Project.

Learn about Sea Turtles, their Plight, and Conservation Efforts. 

Support an Ethical Turtle Centre. That prioritises the Animals' wellbeing rather than our Human need to see them. :) 

No - they do not keep Baby Sea Turtles because that might disrupt their Natural Behaviour and Life Cycle.

Please Note: during this short visit, you will probably not get to see any live Baby Sea Turtles. it is also not yet the good season for this. 

If you would like a chance to see Baby Sea Turtles, you can join our August National Day trip to Volunteer for 1 Week at the Sea Turtle Conservation Centre. 

It will be our 4th time we will be running the August Sea Turtle Trip. We have been blessed and lucky to see Baby Sea Turtles every single time! 


VISIT ANIMAL WELFARE CATS / KITTENS CARE CENTRE

Nothing like a Cat / Kitten to melt your Heart on a Hot Summer Day!!

Hopefully Kittens. This Cat Centre was set up to help sterilise the Stray Cat Population we have also personally seen explode over the 4 years we have been here. 

Some Cats here are sick and being tended to so they do not spread diseases. 

Kittens are being kept here till they are old enough to be sterilised. 

TRIP COST: S$398

STAY RIGHT ON THE BEACH

I think this will be like my 5th time in Tioman! 

So I think I know where the best places are to stay! ;)

Breakfast Included!

GOT QUESTIONS ABOUT DIVING?

I am already a certified Diver and would like to organise this trip to help others come learn Diving too as I found it to be such a Fun, Exciting thing! 

I never thought I would learn Diving, but as someone who loves Animals, I realised it is only in the Sea that Animals truly roam free of Human control. And it is a very wonderful, magical thing to see, Fish swimming freely. In fact, you will feel like a floating flying fish too! 

Say what you want, Safaris are actually just really big parks.
But in the Ocean, Animals are truly Free!
