About
A northern city on the island of Borneo, Miri is known for its diverse marine life and thriving coral reefs. Considered to be among the healthiest and most beautiful places in the world to dive, there are also shipwrecks to explore. The Atago Maru Wreck, one of the most popular wrecks to explore is a 100m long Japanese WWII ship where large moray eels, jacks and barracudas can frequently be seen.
In terms of flora and fauna composition, hard and soft corals thrive in splendid diversity. Sharks, leopard sharks, marble rays, napoleon wrasses, groupers, schooling mackerels, and turtles hang out during the day. During certain times of the year, you may also witness the great whale sharks who migrate through these waters.
