Started off day 2 with a wonderful breakfast overlooking the mesmerising sea. Woke up very early because we are meeting up at 9:30am for islands hopping. 
After breakfast, I packed some personal stuff, got my life jacket and snorkeling set and off we go, out to the sea.
The condition of the sea was quite choppy for the first 2 hours. I was experiencing sea sickness. Felt lousy and almost puke. We hopped around 4 islands. 3 of it was for snorkelling and 1 just for sightseeing only. The sightseeing one belongs to the "Berjaya Group". It was a very beautiful (and expensive) resort complete with a golf course too. Apparently, from what I was told, they have rooms costing as expensive as RM5000.00 a night (for the rich & famous). ***
For the other 3 islands that we went for snorkelling, I must say, as compared, the reefs & fishes here were just as beautiful as those in "The Great Barrier Reefs" of Australia. Colourful coral fishes of every sizes were everywhere in Pulau Tioman and they are so used to human beings. As long as you are holding loaf of breads, they will come to you. We even spotted a big jelly fish!
Unfortunately, my camera cant go underwater... sigh! Only found out much later that they actually sell those 'use & throw' underwater camera in the resort. Otherwise, will surely get one to show you how beautiful Tioman's underwater world is! Anyway, other than snorkelling, we also visited the national fishery information centre.
I tell you... it is not worth visiting this Fishery Infomation thingy. The water quality is terrible, all murky. And the fishes shown there were all just grey in colour. Boring. Not one colourful coral fish at all. Rather disappointing. Fortunately for us, we had a picnic there with our pre-packed lunch. The fun from the lunch alone is enough to overshadow the disappointment earlier. At least some consolation! Oh yes, after the first snorkelling session, I totally forgotten about my sea sickness and also began clicking away at my camera.

Exploring Pulau Paya is what we did when we finally got back from the islands hopping excursion. Here are some of the photos taken:
Nice picture right? I think they surely are...
