Layang-Layang's dives sites.
 
Dog Tooth Lair: This dive site got its name form Dogtooth tuna that cruise the drop-off. Turtles gently glide along, schools of Fusiliers and Surgeonfish swim by and schools of swirling Horse-eye Jacks move like “twisters” across the dense and healthy coral formations. There are over-hangs and ledges to be explored and one can find Stingrays asleep underneath, laying along-side White tip reef sharks. Large Sun Fish have been seen on the drop off and Hammerheads are generally around, as this site is part of their cruising area. Cleaning stations abound and there is a wide variety of Nudibranch and flatworms. This dive site offers plenty of opportunities for photography.
     
Wreck Point: The shallow drop off starts in 1mt of water and then drops vertically to 4mts and then the gliding slopes lead down to 10mts. (which means that site can also be snorkelled). In the shallows there are coral gardens with abundance of small, beautiful tropical reef fish and caverns where divers can find huge hump head parrotfish. At this point the drop off disappears into the Layang Layang abyss. Venture over the edge and descend to the 20mt+ and you will see barrel sponges, gorgonian fans and sea whips. Manta rays, dogtooth tuna, reef sharks are spotted here on a regular basis, so it is good practice to look into the blue from time to time as you make your way along the wall. Wreck point is also an interesting night dive.
     
Wrasse strip: Is an eye-opening coral dive, with a healthy display of nature’s creations and abundant marine life. There is every coral from hard to soft, amazing colours, textures and intricate patterns. There are large coral bommies with small caverns and overhangs that are home to batfish, sweet lips and soldier fish. Triggerfish abound in this area so keep an eye out for the Titan Trigger. Turtles are seen here on a regular basis and also schools of surgeon, jacks, and barracuda even a small school of manta rays and hammerhead sharks can be spotted here. There are also anemones here, clouds of bait and silver fish to add a splash of colour, trevally cruise
     
Sharks Cave: This dive starts on the edge of the drop off in 3mts of water and continues on to a sand ledge where several of the resident Leopard sharks can be found. If divers move slowly and carefully it’s possible to get quite close to them and observe them while resting. Further along there are sea fans, whips and colourful coral formations and sometimes tuna and reef sharks glide by. Another interesting feature of this dive is “shark cave”. Its entrance is 3mts high and slowly narrows to 1/2 mts. At the back of this quite tranquil cavern, there in the shadows lay white tips huddled together as a family group. Once out of the cave, make your way along another majestic portion of the wall upon ascent. Good opportunities for close up and wide angle shots.
