About Main Reef
Main Reef is a boat-access drift reef in the Kota Belud maritime zone with thriving coral growth, rays, cuttlefish, and other pelagic life. Currents can be rough on the surface and underwater, so the dive is best treated as a drift profile rather than a casual reef stroll. The reef is broad, healthy, and rewarding for divers who like current and marine life.
