Miri is a coastal city in Sarawak, Malaysia, near the South China Sea. It serves as a gateway for divers heading to offshore reefs and nearby dive sites in East Malaysia, with several local centers typically offering basic courses, equipment rental, and day trips. The city itself isn’t a major diving hub, but its coastal access makes it a practical base for trips to nearby offshore sites and freshwater options are limited in the immediate area.
