    LRT Coach Reef sits off Tioman, a solid spot if you're just getting your fins wet or need a relaxed afternoon dive. It’s shallow, only ever dropping to about 17 metres, making it super approachable for newer divers or those trying out new gear. We've often seen clownfish darting around their anemones here, and keep an eye out for blue-spotted rays tucked into the sandy patches. While it’s not going to blow your mind with massive pelagics, it’s a friendly reef where you can take your time, practice buoyancy, and just enjoy being underwater without any stress.
