from their website, I didn’t have a camera when I went - HydroPunk
Layang Layang is a boat accessible salt water dive site, located in Borneo, Malaysia. This dive site has an average rating of 4.00 out of 5 from 1 scuba divers. The maximum depth is over 150ft/46m. The average visibility is over 150ft/46m. This dive site provides bathrooms and airfills.

A small atoll with a collection of about a dozen sites. Due to the fact that there is only one hotel on the island and no liveaboards or other vessels are allowed close I will add this as one site.

Individual Site Names:
Gorgonian Forest
Shark Cave
The Wall
Wreck Point
Dogtooth Lair
Crack
Wrasse Strip
Navigator Lane
Snapper Ledge
Runway
The Valley

To get here you have to take an hour’s flight from Kota Kinabalu, but you’ll be rewarded with secluded waters that plummet to 2,000 meters, and have the choice of 13 excellent dive sites. Visit the Gorgonian Forest for a medley of sharks, including schools of 50 or more scalloped hammerheads and even whale sharks. Other must-see spots include Wreck Point, for a horticulture show of barrel sponges, gorgonian fans and sea whips, plus the deep dive at D’Wall where schools of jacks and surgeonfish tempt you with their choreography into the deep.
