About this dive site

This dive site, Rinkin, is located just a 5-minute boat ride east of Juara Bay on Tioman Island. Underwater, divers will find a diverse topography starting with a gradual sandy bottom at 5-8 meters, transitioning into a vibrant sloping coral garden, and culminating in a dramatic shear rock face that extends to around 18 meters. There is no specific history or story provided for this site.

The site boasts a rich array of marine life including Batfish, Angelfish, Grouper, Bumphead Parrotfish, Snapper, and False Clownfish. Nudibranchs offer excellent macro opportunities, and Stingrays can also be spotted. The coral formations are diverse, featuring Branching Coral, Whip Coral, Brain Coral, and Bubble coral, creating a healthy and colorful reef environment.

The best time to visit this dive site is typically during Tioman Island's dry season, generally from March to October, when weather and sea conditions are most favorable, offering the best visibility and calm currents. Its relatively shallow average depth and mild currents make it ideal for beginners and freedivers looking to explore a beautiful coral reef. Divers should be mindful of the occasional mild current.
