B&J Diving Centre on Tioman Island has been established in 1986. It stands for quality and service without cutting corners on safety.
B&J is a PADI 5 Star IDC Facility that conducts all PADI Dive Courses as well as daily dive trips to the best dives sites around Tioman Island. Tioman Dive Resort and B&J Dormitories are owned and operated by B&J.

B&J Diving Centre and Tioman Dive Resort are located on Tioman Island in Malaysia, a heaven for beginners as well as experienced divers or those who want to learn scuba diving.

B&J was established 34years ago and is today one of the largest dive centers in Malaysia. It's run by a Malay/German/Swiss management who places high values on quality, safety, customer satisfaction and environmental protection.

As a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre, B&J teaches all PADI courses from beginner to instructor level as well as technical diving and rebreather courses.

Certified divers join up to 3 boat dives per day plus night dives. The 2-morning dives bring you to dive sites in the vicinity of famous Coral Island, whereas the single afternoon dive will be at a dive site closer to Tioman Island. Distance by boat to the 20+ sites is between 5min to 20min. Nitrox, as well as Oxygen and Helium, fills for technical divers are readily available.

Group sizes for leisure diving and courses are always kept small with a maximum of 4 divers per PADI professional.

Tioman Dive Resort is owned by B&J and offers divers and non-divers alike some of the nicest rooms on Tioman Island. The small resort has just 11 rooms and won the Certificate of Excellence from Tripadvisor. Travelers on a budget can stay in one of B&J’s 4 air-conditioned dormitory rooms that sleep up to 5 guests each. After a happy day of diving relax and enjoy the sunset at B&J Beach Bar.

Though somewhat overshadowed in the past by the more famous dive destinations of eastern Malaysia such as Sipadan and Mabul, Tioman and its surrounding smaller islands are now gaining a reputation as one of the best destinations in the South China Sea for both its diversity of marine life and the health of its coral reefs. Another reason for Tioman's growing popularity is the range of diving experiences available, which are suitable for everyone from novices to tech divers. There is a wealth of shallow to mid-depth sites where large boulder fields are covered by a variety of hard and soft corals. And abundance of caverns and swim-throughs capture the attention of explorers, while critter hunters can find all manner of macro life tucked into crevices or hiding among rubble fields. Pinnacles attract large shoals of reef fish, which in turn draw the attention of jacks, mackerel yellowfin barracuda and rainbow runners. Wreck enthusiasts have a number of options, form collections of small fishing boats that hold grouper and snapper, to larger wrecks at mid-range depths and a collection of WWII wrecks from battleships to submarines, which are accessible to tech divers. The crown jewel of this ghost fleet is the 745-foot HMS Prince of Wales.

B&J works hard to operate as an eco-resort to help educate visitors and reduce their impact. They participate in the PADI Project AWARE program and have been awarded the PADI Green Star™ Award and are also a top ten Green Fins Member. This means they have demonstrated a commitment to conservation that includes water conservation, energy use, environmentally-friendly transportation practices, use of sustainable materials, conservation leadership and a donation to conservation through Project AWARE.

The facility is fully equipped with some of the best dive equipment available in the market (Scubapro and Aqualung), which is serviced and replaced on a regular basis. The Bauer compressors provide the purest air available (Bauer Pure Air Certified).

Tioman's Treasures

There is an island in Malaysia where the waters are filled with riches, and divers see flashes of gold and silver. But don't go fanning the sand for gold bars or silver coins, because these treasures come from nature, and the flashes happen when sunlight shimmers off schools of fish. Sitting some 20 miles off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, green-clad Tioman Island is a nature reserve ringed by undeveloped beaches and coral reefs. Sparsely populated, with few roads, and home to one of the oldest rainforests on earth, Tioman is a destination for nature lovers. Its deserted beaches once lead TIME Magazine to name Tioman as one of the world’s most beautiful islands, and it was depicted as the fabled Bali Hai in the classic film South Pacific.

The crown jewel of this ghost fleet is the 745-foot HMS Prince of Wales.

For more than three decades, B&J Diving Centre has remained Tioman's largest and most popular dive operator. This PADI Five-Star facility has two locations on the island, is the only dive center in Malaysia that’s Bauer Pure Air Certified and the only dive center on Tioman that provides nitrox, and also stocks oxygen, helium and rebreather consumables for tech divers. Both shops have well-stocked retail sections, repair facilities and an extensive stock of top-line rental equipment. The company operates a fleet of three boats that includes two 40-foot speedboats and a 55-foot vessel, making daily trips to a variety of sites. In response to the island's shortage of first-class accommodations, B&J built the Tioman Dive Resort, which offers 11 modern rooms, and is located just a few yards from the company's main dive center in Air Batang Bay. Dive packages with B&J Diving Centre and Tioman Dive Resort include daily boat dives and unlimited shore diving. When exploring the shallows, be on the lookout for small fragments of Ming Dynasty porcelain, which lucky divers sometimes recover from the long-forgotten shipwrecks of Chinese and Arab seafarers.

Diving draws many to Tioman, but it's not the only attraction. Sea kayak tours give access to beaches that can only be reached by water. The island's rainforests offer miles of hiking trails and a unique collection of plants and animals, some of which are unique to the island. Towering over the jungle is the 3,400-foot peak of Gunung Kajang, the highest off-shore mountain in Malaysia at 1,038 meters. Adventurous trekkers can attempt to summit this peak, but most hikers are content to follow trails to waterfall valleys or to search for the Rafflesia, which is the largest known flower on earth.
