Santak Point is an offshore Miri reef dive with a long boat ride.
Santak Point is an offshore Miri reef dive reached by a long boat ride from shore, with a sloping profile that drops away into deeper water. The site is known for blue water and giant sea fans, but divers still need to plan for current, depth, a steady ascent, and enough gas for the boat pickup home. Keep an eye on the boat line and make the return calm and deliberate.
