Tioman Island is renowned for its breathtaking coral reefs and vibrant marine life. However, these delicate ecosystems are under threat from climate change, pollution, and irresponsible diving practices. At TDB SunBeach, we’re committed to promoting eco-friendly diving to protect Tioman Island’s underwater treasures. Here’s how you can dive responsibly and help preserve our coral reefs for future generations.

Why Coral Reefs Matter

Coral reefs are the heart of marine biodiversity. They provide habitat for countless species, protect coastlines from erosion, and support local communities through tourism and fishing. Unfortunately, activities like anchor damage, littering, and touching corals can harm these fragile ecosystems.

How to Dive Responsibly in Tioman Island

1. Practice Proper Buoyancy Control

   • Avoid touching or kicking corals, as even slight contact can damage them.

   • Take a buoyancy control course if you’re a beginner.

2. Use Reef-Safe Sunscreen

   • Traditional sunscreens contain chemicals like oxybenzone that harm corals.

   • Opt for reef-safe sunscreen to protect both your skin and the marine environment.

3. Never Litter

   • Always bring your trash back to the boat or shore.

   • Participate in beach or underwater clean-up events.

4. Avoid Anchoring on Coral Reefs

   • Anchors can destroy coral structures.

   • Use mooring buoys or drift diving techniques instead.

5. Respect Marine Life

   • Observe marine animals from a distance and avoid chasing or touching them.

   • Never feed fish or other marine creatures, as it disrupts their natural behavior.

6. Choose Eco-Friendly Dive Operators

   • Support dive centers like TDB SunBeach that follow sustainable practices.

   • Ask about their eco-friendly initiatives before booking.
