Juara Scuba Academy (JSA), is a family-based dive centre operating out of the beautiful bay of Juara on Tioman Island, Malaysia.
Founded in 2019 the dive shop was born from a passion and love of diving, the marine environment and the need to raise awareness of the importance and fragility of these aquatic ecosystems.
Our mission is to give everyone access to the marine world and believe that, with the right support and teaching, you will fall in love with the underwater world in the same way that we have.
We pride ourselves on fun, safe experiences, going that ‘extra mile’ for you. Offering a number of different courses in SSI and Reef Check, as well as amazing fun dives around the whole of Tioman Island.

Our Dive Center in Juara
Our dive centre is found in the heart of Juara, located on the east coast of Tioman Island. This family-friendly village is the hidden gem of Tioman surrounded by lush green rainforest and fringed by its famous long white beach and tranquil turquoise waters.
We are located next to Beach Shack Chalet right on the beach just a ‘stone’s throw’ away from our beautiful house reef ‘The Aquarium’
Our new and modern dive centre is bright and spacious with dedicated space for teaching, equipment set up and of course ample room to chill out and chat after diving
Being so close to the beach we are perfectly located to do confined water sessions in the shallow bay but we also have access to a pool to complete skills where needed.
Our Dive Center Family
The team is composed of friends hand-picked for their passion for high quality teaching, safe diving practices and marine education. These qualities shine through in every activity they undertake and creates a really unique diving experience.
The staff take time with each new guest to allow us to adapt our courses and dives around the needs of the individual making every interaction personally tailored to allow you to get the best out of your time with us.
The heart of the business lies in its connection between people and place, friendship and environment representing the voice of the sea, making efforts in securing a future for our living seas and to save our threatened marine life before it is lost forever.
We wish to bring awareness, understanding and stewardship to the core of every activity, doing our part to secure a future for our oceans and the amazing species that make up the rich complex ecosystem we love to visit.
There is only one ocean and we have only one chance to save and conserve it.
