If you are travelling to Tioman Island from the parts of the world that do not have a lot of water sports activities and diving experiences, use this opportunity and get yourself a licence for diving here. This Island has an excellent collection of diving locations where you can swim along with marine life and explore what the underwater world has to offer. All you have to do is take part in a course offered by one of the many water sports activity centres and pay a fee of thousand Malaysian rupees. Compared to the cost of obtaining a licence in most other parts of the world this is extremely cheap. Before you join a course, ask around and find out which of the diving centres are the authentic and reputed ones.
