The M/V Scuba Explorer is 36 meters long and 8 meters wide making her one of largest steel-hulled liveaboards in Thailand. The ships size and spaciousness will surprise you: the cabins are larger than normal on a liveaboard and the Sun Deck and Diving Deck are absolutely enormous.  The entire ship is air-conditioned, and can comfortably accommodate up to 24 guests in 12 cabins from en-suite with double bed to standard bunk bed rooms.  This trip is not exclusively gay - we will be sharing the ship with other divers.

Around 40km off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, not far from Singapore is the picturesque island of Tioman.   A popular holiday resort for Malaysians & Singaporeans, the steep-sided jungle clad slopes of the island rise straight out the water making some spectacular tropical dive spots.

A little to the south is the tiny island of Palau Aur, difficult to reach without a liveaboard and excellent diving.  It normally has better visibility & healthier reefs than Tioman as it is a little further from the mainland.   Stingrays, Batfish, Napoleon Wrasse & large Groupers can be seen. A little south, three deep pinnacles have Barracuda, Napoeon Wrasse, schools of Snapper & Fusliers & Whitetip sightings.

Dayang & Lang to the north probably have Aur's best diving. At Raynor's Rock, a family of Bumphead Parrotfish munch their way noisily around the reef, while Captain's Point is a great drift-dive with plenty of big fish encounters. Healthy populations of reef-life call this area home and there is a pretty good chance to see Eagle Rays, Manta Rays or Whale Sharks - especially between October & November.

Closer to Tioman, Labas Island has many swim-throughs and makes for an interesting, enjoyable dive, while Soyak has a small wreck that is home to Lionfish & Banded Sea-Kraits, plus a nice fringing reef.
