Best for intermediate divers, Up to 20m, boat entry, variable current.
Karang Tohor is a boat-access site off Tioman Island featuring a diverse topography of reef, wall, and pinnacle structures. Divers can explore depths down to 20 metres, navigating terrain that requires solid buoyancy control due to variable currents that concentrate around the pinnacle and wall. The site is composed of sharp rock, necessitating careful positioning and trim. Conditions are dynamic, with visibility that can shift between visits. Water temperatures remain consistent between 28 and 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year. Given the potential for unpredictable currents and the presence of sharp rock, this site is best suited for intermediate divers.
