E204 - We Claimed an Island! Sailing & Diving Tioman Island, Malaysia

We leave Puteri Harbour and make our way back through the busy Singapore Strait, dodging countless cargo ships and fast ferries along the way. After a long day navigating one of the world’s busiest waterways, we drop anchor at Jason’s Bay—where things take an unexpected turn. A floating island drifts straight toward the anchored boats, and in true No Regrets II fashion, Chris and Marty decide to “claim” it as their own new territory! Armed with Pina Coladas, they hop aboard and ride it triumphantly through the anchorage, laughing the whole way. 🍹🏝️ From there, we sail on to Tioman Island, clear in, and spend several days diving at some incredible sites—including three sunken sailing boats and a navy ship. At Monkey Bay, we dive the famous train wreck, before heading to Tulai Island to snorkel among crystal-clear waters, colourful coral, and thriving marine life. It’s an episode full of laughter, adventure, and underwater exploration in one of Malaysia’s most stunning island destinations! 🌴⚓🐠 Timestamps if you like to Jump Right In: 00:00 Intro 00:30 Singapore Straits 05:19 Claiming our own Floating Island 07:44 Sailing to Tioman Island 11:17 Diving the fishing boat wrecks 13:16 ex Naxy Patrol Boat 14:28 Tioman Island Games 17:51 SNAKES on No Regrets 18:56 Monkey Bay Train Wreck Dive 22:23 Palau Tulai WHO ARE WE? Hey there! We’re Chris and Jo, an ordinary Aussie couple living our extraordinary dream aboard our Seawind 1260 since January 2019 and now we continue from 2024 aboard our new 1370! Our adventure began with an unforgettable journey down the east coast of Australia, followed by a sail to the stunning New Caledonia. In 2020, we continued our exploration further north, and by 2021 and 2022, we circumnavigated Australia, discovering breathtaking locations along the way. Having previously owned fishing and water-skiing boats, our passion for sailing deepened after crewing in South Australia, leading us to make the leap into full-time living at sea. We hope to inspire you, just as we were inspired by other YouTube channels, to chase your dreams and explore the wonders of this beautiful world.
