Diving in Layang Layang Island

Layang Layang, also known as “The Jewel of the Borneo Banks,“ is located Northwest of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. You can only reach this island by air, and there is only one resort available on the island, so you need to book well in advance. You can also choose to stay at a liveaboard, and you will find many options available to explore the dive sites around this atoll. Consider that diving season is only opened from March to August as during the last months of the year it’s monsoon season. Diving in Layang Layang is only for the more advanced divers.
