    About Salang

    Salang is blessed with the best shore diving on Tioman Island, and is the nearest village to the majority of the off shore dive sites. Visibility is best in the early part of the season and can be 20 meters plus. This drops down to at its least about 5 meters during the middle part of the season. However, wave action and run off after rainy spells can reduce this on a temporary basis.
