Went to scuba dive for 5 days in April 2012 with some friends. It's a wonderful place to dive but don't expect much of the rooms. They're dated and the thin walls make it sometimes hard to get sleep so consider bringing your own ear plugs. On the good note, the diving was excellent. Hammerheads, black and white tip reef...

We spent almost two weeks in this resort and I did not miss even one dive. This island is one of best place for dive holidays. May be rooms are not very new but it was not important for us there. Diving is excellent there. All dive sites are not far from island (from 10 to 25 minuts) and we... More

Only place to stay on the island and mine was during the end of March 2012 for 4 nights. Rooms are somewhat clean but very very old. Door handles were rusty, toilet..well..if you are not too fussed then it should be alright. Ammeneties are very basic and I did not use it at all except to clean my mask, so... More

Diving ... having dived quite a lot in Indonesia and the Coral Sea (Australia) we were intitally disappointed by the coral which lacks colour and can be in poor condition in places. HOWEVER as we continued to dive we went to some great walls with excellent underwater vistas and some great healthy coral. We did 12 dives and saw reef... More

The resort is, in essence, an air strip with a naval base at one end and a dive hotel at the other. I say dive hotel because it is a hotel whose facilities are designed for experienced divers - slightly better than you would experience on an average live aboard dive holiday but nothing special. For a non-diver the rooms... More

All here is obviously suited for divers - 3 dives a day (8am, 11am and 3pm). All organised and flawless in execution of all related to your diving... Home of hammersharks, it also hosts from pygmee seahorses to nudibranches, scorpion fishes, shrimps and lobsters if you re into micro, but also mantas, barracudas, mantas, mobulas, dogtooth, etc if you re...

Given that there is only one place to stay on Layang Layang, and the resort is certainly over 15 years old, and everything has to be shipped or flown in as it is in the middle of nowhere, Avillon can certainly not be accused of being complacent in any way and is much better than I could have expected. Sure,... More

This was our first diving trip to Malaysia - our most Easterly dives so far have been in Thailand so we were very pleased with the diving. We saw lots of reef fish that were new to us as well as the main attraction - Hammerheads. We stayed on the island for 5 days and saw Hammerheads on the first... More

This was our second trip to Layang Layang - and the diving was even better than our first trip! We had hammerhead sightings on 6 of our 8 days of diving, some days we saw them on both of our morning dives. The absolute pinnacle was being surrounded by a school of about 50 hammerheads eddying up from the depths... More
