Layang Layang Island

Borneo

300 km North of Kota Kinabalu lies the "Jewel of the Borneo Banks", Layang Layang Island. This remote oceanic atoll is yet another example of the World Class Diving to be found in Borneo, Malaysia. Its Coral walls plunge a staggering 6000 feet (2000 metres) down to the floor of the South China Sea. Venturing below the surface of the sparkling blue water, you'll be met with an average visibility of 150 feet (50 metres) and find a dive destination that is largely unexplored. This offers the adventurous diver, an opportunity to experience " Frontier Diving " at its best.

The dramatic underwater topography of this unique atoll, combined with its remote location, accounts for the abundant marine life and pristine condition. Large shoals of pelagics, including massive numbers of barracuda and jacks frequent these waters. Each year in April, large schools of hammerhead sharks arrive, thrilling divers with their large numbers and size.

The reefs & walls are also home to some of the finest & most spectacular displays of hard and soft corals in the world. They also harbour many species yet to be identified and named. Layang - Layang Island should be on every serious divers " Must See " list.
