This dive site, Chebeh West Deep, located around Pulau Tioman, is celebrated as a premier diving spot. Situated approximately 30-40 minutes north of the main island by speedboat, it boasts pristine reefs and a distinctive underwater landscape shaped by large boulders and intricate crevices. Strong currents are a defining feature, making drift diving a common and exhilarating experience here.
The rich marine ecosystem thrives amidst these conditions, attracting large schools of barracudas and various silvery fishes, particularly when the currents are active. The numerous crevices and rock formations serve as refuge for significant marine life, including majestic Napoleon wrasses and several species of sweetlips, providing excellent opportunities for wildlife observation.
While the dive site is suitable for experienced divers who can manage strong currents, it is not recommended for snorkelers or freedivers due to these challenging conditions and the average depth. The best time to explore Chebeh West Deep typically aligns with Tioman's main diving season, offering optimal conditions for an unforgettable underwater adventure.
