The Climate, Diving Season and Best Time to Visit
Malaysia is a year-round destination but the dive season specifics vary from one location to the next. Liveaboards which operate along the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, particularly around the Tioman Island area, do so mostly in the June to September period.
Liveaboard Ports of Departure and How to Get There
Tioman liveaboard safaris depart from Singapore, which is one of the best-connected hubs in Asia with direct flights from all over the world, including from Kuala Lumpur and various cities in Malaysia.
You can view which ports the various boats use on their trips in the 'Departures & Prices' section of each boat's webpage. Whichever ports your boat uses, normally the boat operator provides a transfer to the boat from the local airport or hotels (if you overnight beforehand). We will send you full departure details during the booking process.
We recommend you take out insurance to cover diving and travel activities, including trip cancellation. See our insurance programme for a competitive quotation:
