Besut

Besut is a coastal town in Terengganu, Malaysia. While the broader Terengganu coast offers dive opportunities, Besut itself is not a traditional diving hub. The area around the South China Sea has beaches and local access to boat trips, with nearby dive centers catering to visitors; however, there are no well-known dive sites listed directly within Besut. Divers visiting this region typically base themselves in larger coastal towns or resorts along the Terengganu coast for access to reef and wall dives, training, and equipment rentals.
