About this site
The coordinates given for The Shallows fall in northern Borneo near Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia, rather than in Kalimantan Timur, which is the Indonesian province further south and east on the island. This stretch of coast lies along the South China Sea side of Sabah, an area known for its scattered reef patches and islands offshore. The site itself is an artificial dive rated for beginners.
