The west coast of Sabah offers visitors the perfect diving environment with an enormous variety of marine creatures and corals that enliven Malaysia's tropical seas. The island of Layang-layang is one of these internationally famous diving sites. Located 165 nautical miles northwest of Kota Kinabalu, the oval-shaped island is nearly 7 square kilometres wide and 1.2 square kilometres long. Layang-layang is accessible by light aircraft and is only an hour's flight from Kota Kinabalu.

This island is built on one edge of a coral atoll that rises 2,000 metres from the floor of the South China Sea and experienced divers can look forward for a diving adventure of a lifetime. Visitors will be able to encounter marine life and corals of all sorts from Hammerhead sharks to extraordinary corals during dives. The island provides a lavish dive resort hotel or chalets located on a narrow strip of built-up reef, with a lagoon on one side and a 2,000 metres drop to the ocean floor on the other.
