I was there one week ago. I leave tioman last Friday, at this time all
resorts are open and the weather was great. February is lower monsoon,
but in March the season is beginning. In reason of climate is changing
world-wide the monsoon is shortened of four months to one and a half
month. But now it's raining in August. This month was always hot and
drying.

The flight costs about 175 SGD per person for one way.

Three times a day the bus leave from Victoria-Station to Mersing. It
costs 7 - 12 SGD per Person. The ferry leaves two times a day and costs
35 RM per Person. But if Ebb-tide is you can only take a speedboat. It
costs 45 RM per Person.
