Layang Layang Island, a coral atoll that is truly one of nature's best creations. Dubbed as 'The Jewel of the Borneo Banks', Layang Layang reveals, to many delight the things dreams are made of... a truly magical marine kingdom of bottomless blue decorated with a kaleidoscope of nature's most lavish seascape.

In the middle of ancient South China Sea, 300 kilometers North West off the coast of Sabah, Layang Layang lays like a beautiful emerald kissed by the sun and teased playfully by the winds. Time and tide has linked 13 coral reefs to form a languid lagoon with just a fraction of it breaking the calm surface of the sea. This atoll is also the home to one of the most converted diving sites in the world.

               

With an average visibility of 30 to 50 meters, you can be assured of an amazing scuba diving experience here. The sea floor, right off the edge of the isle drops down to 2000 meters. Venturing below the surface of the sparkling blue, one will discover nature's most fascinating architecture as well as habitats of luxuriant and vibrant colors. Largely unexplored, much of Layang Layang has never been seen before. The reefs here harbor many new life forms, species yet to be identified, yet to be named. Fishes of every kind of color darting in and out of delicate pastel corals are a common sight in this underwater playground. Armed with the spirit of exploration, many divers from all over the world have discovered this jewel in the blue wilderness. It is no wonder why Layang Layang is placed at the top of their lists for the best diving spot.
