DIVING TRIPS

There are 28 reefs between Miri and Sibuti area.

The best time to dive in Miri is March to September, when you can expect visibility of up to 30m.
During the rest of the year, the monsoon can cause visibility to drop to 10m or less.

See the Dive Map for more details about Miri's dive sites.
