B&J was established in 1986 as “Ben’s Diving Centre” and was run by our chairman Pak Karim and his sons Ben and Mark. As the business began to expand, Jean-Claude (aka JC) became a new partner and the name was changed to B&J (Ben and JC). Martin, the Marketing/Sales Director bought over JC’s shares in 2003 and the company and reputation continued to thrive. 

Today we are one of the largest dive centres in Malaysia and as a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre, which offer all courses from beginner to instructor level. Between 2010 and 2014 we built and expanded the beautiful Tioman Dive Resort to offer divers some of the nicest rooms in the whole of Tioman. In 2017 they added to this another building with 4 air-conditioned Dormitory rooms that can sleep 5 persons each. 

We place high value on protecting the environment and are a a GoEco operator, GreenFins Member and Project AWARE award winner. We take care of ocean environment through regular clean up activities plus have a strict no glove and no touch policy. The facilities are fully equipped with the best dive equipment available on the market (primarily Scubapro), which is serviced on a regular basis. The Bauer compressors provide the purest air available (they’re the only dive centre in Malaysia that’s Bauer Pure Air Certified) and also the only dive centre on Tioman that provides Nitrox, Oxygen and Helium tank fills. Both our shops have a well-stocked retail section including PADI educational material, dive gear, t-shirts, accessories and tec diving equipment. 

The dive centre in ABC has a swimming pool, which makes the first step into scuba diving a bit easier for beginners. Theyre also operating the B&J Beach Bar for you to relax after a happy day of diving.
