Layang Layang Island Resort

Location

• 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.

Dive / Water Sport Centre
The in-house PADI dive center is professionally-run by a team of experienced and qualified instructors. This team of six persons have hundreds of dives at Layang Layang between them.

Equipment in the dive center includes 300 units of 80cu ft aluminum tanks, Bauer KAP180 compressors, 20 sets of BCDs and regulators (Scuba Pro), lots of fins, masks, booties, weights and belts. There are also ten Catamaran boats that brings divers to the sites between 10-30 minutes.

All divers must agree to the strict Environmental Conservation Programme set-up by the Dive Center and are required to sign a Reef Conservation Policy prior to diving. PADI dive courses up to the divemaster level are conducted.

A stunning dive experience awaits, as the average visibility is between 30 to 50 metres. A huge drop of 2,000m off the edge lies the sea floor. As soon as you’re in your dive spot, you can be assured of seeing a wide and varied ecosystem.

Largely unexplored, much of Layang Layang has never been seen before - the many reefs here harbour many species yet to be identified nor named. Fishes of every kind of colour and shape 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 Layang Layang is placed at the top of their lists for the best diving spot.
