This remote coral atoll is situated approximately 300 km off the coast of Sabah, approx one hour’s flight from Kota Kinabalu. The atoll is 14 sq km in diameter and rises 2,000m from the ocean floor offering some spectacular wall diving. In 1985 the Malaysian Government reclaimed and created a 50 acre island on part of the reef, now known as Layang Layang Island. There are 14 main dive sites, all reached within 10-15 mins by boat from the resort. Average visibility is 50m. The reefs are largely unexplored with wonderful drop-offs, superb corals and prolific fish life. Layang Layang is famous for its Hamerheads which a re commonly seen, with the best time of year being Mar-Jun. Other sharks normally encountered include leopard, black tip and white tip plus dolphins, giant mantas, barracuda and giant morays.
