Pulau Renggis
Renggis is a small island off the Tekek side of Tioman and the best-known easy house-reef dive: usually calm, sheltered water at about 5–12 m (to 16 m by one report) with hard coral, whip corals and gorgonian fans. Turtles, giant moray, barracuda and occasional blacktip reef sharks are reported, and there is an underwater treadmill and monkey bars. Position is an approximation placed next to the islet's OpenStreetMap location; no operator publishes exact GPS for this site.
