Pahang

Pahang is a Malaysian state on the South China Sea, with scuba diving centered around the Tioman area. Divers typically find clear-to-moderate visibility depending on season, warm tropical waters, and a mix of coastal drop-offs and reef habitats reached by boat. The most visited experiences are reef dives around the islands, along with sand-and-rock areas that are common on sheltered sites. Marine life often includes reef fish, invertebrates, and occasional larger pelagic sightings when conditions are favorable. Most dive schedules are based around trips from Tioman, making the region a practical base for recreational diving and specialty outings such as drift-style profiles on suitable days.
