Macro Paradise: the diving around Kapalai is very easy and shallow but quite spectacular. The sandy bottom and the sparse coral heads host an amazing array of small, often yet-to-be-classified, shamelessly colorful subjects, making the diving here an unforgettable experience - especially for keen underwater photographers.

Lankayan Island's dive sites - all just a few minutes away - boast unbelievably colorful macro fauna, fascinating wrecks and, in season from March to May, regular sightings of gigantic and harmless whale sharks

Layang Layang is a wall diving mecca. The ocean floor drops to an amazing 2000 metres from the edge of the atoll. The combination of deep water and pristine walls attracts big fish galore and amongst Layang Layang's most famous are the Hammerhead sharks.
