The dive season in Tioman Island starts from March and ends in November typically.
Travelers and divers are advised to not visit during the monsoon season as waves can get really high and it could be extremely dangerous.
On a typical weekend, the liveaboard will depart on Friday evening and back in Singapore by Sunday night.
Less the hassle of clearing Singapore and Malaysia customs and immigration checkpoints, less the hassle of carrying your dive gears and luggage. Imagine a sumptuous dinner upon boarding the boat, and a restful sleep during the night crossing via the liveaboard, with the waves lapping against the hull of the boat.
