How to Get to Tioman Dive Buddy

Located in Genting Bay on the west coast of Tioman Island, Tioman Dive Buddy is one of the most conveniently accessible PADI dive centers on the island. Its strategic location makes it a preferred choice for divers traveling from both Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, whether for short dive trips or full certification programs.

Although Tioman Island is an offshore destination, reaching the island is straightforward with proper planning. Tioman Dive Buddy provides a detailed “How to Get Here” guide prepared by the local operations team, offering clear and up-to-date instructions on transport options, ferry schedules, and arrival logistics to help travelers plan with confidence.

Most visitors reach Tioman Island via a combination of car, bus, or taxi from major cities, followed by a scheduled ferry transfer from the mainland. This travel route is well-established and commonly used by divers, resort guests, and local residents.

The main ferry gateway to Tioman Island is Mersing Jetty, located along the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. An increasingly popular alternative is Tanjung Gemok Jetty, approximately 80 minutes north of Mersing. Both jetties operate regular ferry services to Tioman Island, including routes serving Kampung Genting.

Tioman Dive Buddy looks forward to welcoming you to Kampung Genting, Tioman, where professional PADI instruction, strong safety standards, and memorable underwater experiences come together for your next diving adventure.
