Genting House Reef is an easy-entry shore dive on Tioman's Genting side, with a sandy bottom that slopes gradually before steepening around the two artificial reef structures. It is used for entry-level diving and wreck training, with schools of fish working the structures and the shallow approach keeping the dive straightforward. Visibility can be variable, so it works best as a calm-water house reef rather than a conditions-chasing site.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Blacktip reef sharks are reported at the site; keep distance and stay aware around the 7 m structures, especially when visibility drops.
Access Restrictions
Easy shore entry, but this is still a dive site with training structures rather than a casual swim beach.
Legal Notes
Check local marine-park and resort access rules before diving, and confirm any current guidance from the Tioman dive center.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Suitable for entry-level divers and for wreck-diving training, with points of interest around 7 m and a slope down to around 20 m.
Freediving
The shallow slope can suit very experienced freedivers in calm weather, but the artificial structures and variable water make scuba the main use case.
Snorkeling
The easy entry lets snorkelers use the shallow slope in calm weather, but the main draw sits around the artificial structures below easy snorkel depth.
