I recently spent time for diving training in Kampung Salang, Pulau Tioman, and I had a great time. The village is located on the east coast of the island and is known for its beautiful beaches, clear waters, and excellent diving.
The resorts in Kampung Salang are generally clean and comfortable, and many of them offer beachfront accommodations with stunning views. The locals are friendly and welcoming, and they are always happy to help tourists and make them feel at home.
There are a number of restaurants in Kampung Salang, so it is easy to find food to suit your taste. There are also a few small grocery stores where you can buy snacks and essentials.
I particularly enjoyed the many cats that roam the village. They are mostly strays, but they are well-fed and healthy. Some people believe that the locals take care of the cats.

The people of Salang are as friendly as ever. Undoubtly, one of the best places for snorkeling and...
