Boathouse Dive Centre & Spa

Boathouse Dive Centre & Spa sits on Tioman Island, Malaysia, where a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort backs every descent. Three PADI Instructors lead expert-guided scuba diving and snorkelling across vibrant coral reefs, and a serene onsite spa waits to help you unwind once you surface. It's a place built for ocean lovers who want adventure and relaxation in equal measure.

Courses, dives and dive sites

The centre runs 13 courses and activities, from the four-day PADI Open Water Diver Course to PADI Advanced Open Water Diver and PADI Rescue Diver. Casual divers can opt for a Leisure Dive from USD 224 or a two-day Dive Trip Package, while Emergency First Response training covers both Primary and Secondary Care and Care for Children. Dives explore Tioman Island and Jahat Island, with chances to spot sharks, turtles, whales, rays and ocean fish.

A waterfront base adds a house reef, training pool, classroom, dive boat, retail shop and onsite accommodation. Staff speak English, French and Malay, making it a welcoming fit for new and returning divers alike.
