Getting to the isles from mersing can be a bit messay. First of all, there are three type of boats - the speedboat is twice as fast as the slow boat, while the fast boats refer to the ferries. Secondly there are no schedules, except for Tioman and Rawa. Generally, what boat you take and when you leave depends on the size of the group, and your choice of resort and island.

The best diving season along the east coast is from March to May when visibility is at its best. It is possible to dive right until October to February all diving stops because of the monsoon. In fact many resorts close during this period.
Be careful of sandflies on Pulau Besar's beaches; the bugs are particularly nasty in the cool evenings.
