It has dive centres in two locations on Tioman Island in Malaysia (Salang Bay and Air Batang Bay aka ABC).B&J has launched it's own upper market hotel (Tioman Dive Resort) in January 2012 to serve our clients even better.We take pride in providing the highest quality dive education for our customers as well as enjoyable leisure diving trips for already certified divers. B&J has a 100% safety record since it's existence and we constantly invest in maintaining/upgrading our equipment. Dive equipment is well maintained and regularly replaced, the air is tested for purity, the dive boats are large and comfortable and the dive groups are kept small.It might not be known to many but Tioman Island is home to some of the healthiest coral reefs and a myriad of marine life. B&J has been there from the beginning and has helped maintain these reefs by organizing regular environmental events such as cleanup days, COT (Crown Of Thorns) collections and more. B&J has been awarded several times by PADI for it's "Outstanding Contribution to Divers Education" and also as a “Project AWARE Environmental Achievement Award Winner”. B&J is also a “Go-Eco Operator” and a “Longitude 181 Ambassador”, promoting environmentally safe diving with a strict no glove and no touch policy. As a PADI 5 Star IDC (Instructor Development Center), B&J is amongst the top dive centers in Asia and the very experienced instructors teach all courses from beginner to instructor level. B&J is further a DSAT and IANTD Technical Diving Facility and provides DAN O2 Provider courses.If you like to see some of the most beautiful coral gardens in the South China Sea, a vast variety of tropical reef fish, turtles, sharks, cuttlefish and some of the best spots for nudibranchs in the world, then you shouldn’t miss a visit to Tioman Island.Two Tank dive trips for certified divers are organized daily and you have the choice of additional afternoon boat dives or night dives. If you prefer to take it more relaxed, then you should head for some great muck diving on the house reefs. Nitrox is readily available.Technical divers are drawn to Tioman to either enrol in more training and to visit some of the most spectacular wrecks in the world, HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales. Next to diving we assist you with transfer and accommodation bookings or invite you to join one of our regular cleanup efforts to protect the ocean. « less

Salang is the paradise of Tioman.Although the journey to Salang takes about 2.5 hours,believe me,a great days waiting for you.Im taking OWD with B&J Salang and my instructor was AJ.Since in Salang they dont have a swimming pool,my 1st confined water dive was at the jetty.An awesome practical class with a school of jack.Stop reading & pack your things.

If you want to dive in Tioman, this is the place to be. Great atmosphere, professional staff - that teaches things the right way, with your interests in mind not theirs. It's not a BIG RESORT and doesn't pretend to be. But if you have a good attitude, enjoy making new friends and chilling out after diving or snorkling all... More

We stayed in Salang for 8 nights and went diving with B&J every day. Every single dive was great! Our dive master showed us everything that was swimming or hiding in the reefs around Tioman. The diving gear is in good condition and the diving crew are very professional and friendly. They let us hang out on the deck in... More

Knowledgable (but fun) instructors, small groups, laid back atmosphere. This dive centre made our open water course as good as it could have been! Opened up my eyes for diving, plus we had a great time on land too handing out with all the nice and fun people on the island :)

Adam !!!! Always remember you !!!! He is the only instructor I have seen so far, with sharp eyes to spot micro living things under the sea. Believe me, you will not miss out anything interesting diving with him. He is awesome. Try staying at their hotel rooms. Believe me, its all brand new and with comfortable beds.
