Formed by 13 linked coral reefs, with just a speck of an island visible above water, Layang Layang atoll is said to lie among one of the finest diving spots anywhere in the world. Located north-west of Kota Kinabalu (an hour by air), it offers exhilarating wall diving in exceptionally clear water most of the year - while there are many other watersports to enjoy from the comfortable hotel (which has a PADI dive centre), as well as watching the many migratory birds that nest here.
