LRT Coach Reef is an artificial reef located off Tioman Island, Malaysia, formed by submerged train coaches resting at a consistent depth of 18 metres. Accessible only by boat, the site features mild currents and visibility ranging from 10 to 30 metres. The structure provides a unique overhead environment for divers, though it presents risks including entanglement and sharp edges. Water temperatures remain stable between 28 and 30 degrees Celsius. Due to the overhead nature of the coaches and potential for variable visibility, divers should brief their buddies on navigation and safety procedures before descending. The site is suitable for beginner divers, with typical dives lasting around 45 minutes.

Because the site sits at a flat 18 metres, plan your bottom time carefully before descending so you maximise the reef without rushing your safety stop. Brief your buddy on the overhead environment inside the coaches before the dive, as visibility within the structure can drop sharply compared to the open water around it.
