We dived with TDC earlier this year and I felt compelled to finnaly write a review. Overall the issue was that they had booked too many divers and did not have the facilities to look after us. We were doing our advanced certification and on our first dive we were pretty much unsupervised. I have ear problems and the dive... More

These guys are laid back, fun, never crowded on boats. Interesting sea life--the Nemo fish everywhere, Nudi's superb, soft shell clams everywhere and mesmerizing. Staff sometimes points things out. Water very warm-- we had shorty wetsuits but could have done with just a rash guard. Intervals usually at the Swiss Cottage, but occasionally not, so bring your snorkel on the... More

The staff were very friendly and knowledgable and happy for you to chill with them before and after diving. The diving itself was amazing - loads to see and wonderfully warm waters.

I did 3 dives with them. . They were professional and encouraging. Also, they do not compromise on safety and learning. All doubts were answered promptly. Would definitely dive with them again if I lodge at Swiss Cottage in future.

I did 6 dives with Tioman Dive Centre over 3 days at the end of February. The instructors, Claire and Neil were really friendly and very helpful. The dive centre is at the south end of Tekek, about 15 minutes walk from the pier. I used my own equipment but the shop gear looked fine. The dive boats looked pretty... More
