LRT Coach Reef, Tioman is a new artificial-reef dive site in Monkey Bay built from submerged LRT coaches. It is a calm, beginner-friendly training and fun-dive stop with a gentle slope and easy underwater landmarks. Marine growth is still early, so the main draw is the surreal structure itself and watching the reef mature.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A shallow artificial reef with a gentle slope and sandy patches. It suits training and easy fun dives, but the reef is still young and best treated as a relaxed exploration site.
Freediving
Only a limited look from the surface makes sense here. The structure is better suited to scuba than casual freedive use.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling is more about Monkey Bay generally than the coaches themselves; the reef is better appreciated by scuba.
