Scuba Diving in Miri

I have heard a lot of good things about diving in Miri from friends over the years but somehow, we never got to make a dive trip here.

The many dive sites here are also part of the Miri Sibuti Coral Reef National Park which is highly protected.

I did this adventure with Coco Dive, a reputable and professional dive operator here where they took me to three dive spots where I was dumbfounded with what I saw underwater.

Not only was the dive sites untouched, but the marine and coral life here was also amazing and comparable with many other top dive sites in Malaysia. 

Ross has 15 years of diving experience around the world and is a qualified PADI Dive Instructor. When I first arrived here, I found him to be professional and friendly at the same time.

I was also asked to produce my PADI Diving License but I had lost it, and Ross told me no worries as I could simply enter my details into the PADI website for the number. 

All equipment and boats are well prepared for divers and when you get there, you are all set to go out.

While there are no islands to be seen on route to the dive sites, you will notice some oil rigs in the far distance. 

I have to say the service was very international standards especially when Ross was leading the dives.

More importantly, the safety checks were very strict and I kind of admired the level of professionalism involved with Coco Dive. 

I recommend you bring an underwater camera if you plan to dive in Miri – beg or borrow, you will not regret it.

Below are various Miri-Sibuti reef photos that were taken by Coco Dive and Sarawak Tourism Board. 

For any diving inquiries, you can contact Coco Dive in Miri as they are the recommended dive operator here supported by the Sarawak Tourism Board.

They are located in the main town area in their own little bungalow which is shared with a guest house called Coco House. So you can do the entire stay-and-dive here. 

Dive equipment is available from head to toe too so you can simply rent whatever you need here. Overall for divers, this is an awesome one-stop place and professionally operated.

Now that I have experienced diving in Sarawak and seeing how beautiful and untouched the dive sites are, I look forward to coming back here for another round of scuba diving in Miri.
