Tanjung Gemuk is another gateway to the east coast islands of Pahang and is located between Endau and Rompin, about half an hour north of Mersing (for directions here pls see transportation tips).
So the public Tanjung Gemuk jetty is where you catch boats to Tioman island etc. but most liveaboard vessels e.g. Divemaster 1, Beach Boy etc. dock at the LKIM (Fisheries Dept.) jetty, which can be confusing to get to since there are not much signages and you have to drive past a village right to the end till you reach a really beat up shabby old jetty. Lots of character and a totally different world! Plus a strong smell of fish.
Give yourself extra time to get here if you're supposed to meet up at this LKIM jetty. As it happened, we ended up waiting an extra hour for all the other divers to arrive cos most couldn't really find the place. Leave a Comment
Address: LKIM JettyDirections: Passing the Shell station on your left, drive straight down past the village into a small beat up lane till you get to the metal gates at the end. You'll have to get the guard to open it up for you.
