About Edgell Patches
Edgell Patches is a deeper outer-reef dive off Kota Kinabalu that draws divers for healthy coral and busy fish life close to the city. The site is a pair of submerged patch reefs that roll away into blue water, so the dive feels open and spacious rather than sheltered. Boat access and blue-water safety stops are standard, and it suits divers who are comfortable with a little current and a guided pickup plan. Schools of barracuda, snapper, sharks, turtles, rays, frogfish, and other reef life are common highlights.
