North Point is a short boat dive on Tioman's sloping reef, with coral bommies, sea whips, and large coral-covered boulders along the outer edge. The site is varied rather than purely vertical, and the shallow top of the slope makes the profile easy to read while the outer face still rewards careful buoyancy and depth control. It suits divers who like a drift-friendly reef dive with strong marine life, but it is best on calm tides when the current stays manageable. Expect lionfish, moray eels, titan triggerfish, sweetlips, spiny lobsters, and a very strong nudibranch showing.

Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Watch your gauges on the wall, and plan around the tide because current can become strong at high water.
Access Restrictions
Plan the dive around tide windows; the current can strengthen at high tide.
Legal Notes
Follow Taman Laut Tioman and operator guidance when the dive is run inside the marine park.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The slope and coral bommies make buoyancy control important as you work the reef.
Freediving
The shallow top of the slope may suit controlled freedives, but the site is mainly a boat-dived scuba site.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is only useful on the shallow edge in calm conditions; the site is better known for scuba.
