This dive site, Saing, is an easily accessible location just 10 minutes north of Juara Jetty, making it a popular choice for divers on Tioman Island. Known for its calm conditions and straightforward navigation, it serves as an ideal entry point for beginners to explore the underwater world. There is no specific historical information provided, but its proximity to Juara suggests it's a regular dive spot for local operators.
Saing is particularly renowned for its vibrant macro life, attracting photographers with its diverse collection of nudibranchs, including species like Jorunna, Nembrotha, Chromodoris, and Roboastra. Beyond the tiny wonders, divers can also encounter a variety of reef fish such as pufferfish, angelfish, and butterflyfish, inhabiting the coral and sandy patches of the site.
The best time to visit Saing, like most of Tioman, is generally during the dry season (March to October) when water conditions are optimal for diving and snorkeling. Its shallow average depth of 8 meters and calm environment make it perfectly suited for both scuba divers and freedivers looking to explore without strong currents or challenging conditions. Macro enthusiasts will particularly enjoy the abundance of small critters here.
