Wreck Point

Despite its name, there is no actual wreck at this Layang Layang diving site. There used to be one, but all that remains of it today is a few pieces of scrap iron on the seabed. So, contrary to expectations which may be arrived at from its name, this is not a wreck dive, it is instead a very pleasant coral garden dive.

There are different sightings in store at different parts of this Layang Layang dive site. At its deepest, just where the gentle coral slope turns into a cliff, you should watch out for dogtooth tuna, bigeye trevallies, barracuda, nurse sharks and hammerhead sharks.

On the reef itself, there is an immense garden of lettuce coral, among which you will spot parrotfish, butterflyfish, clown anemonefish, fairy basslets and batfish. While on the sandy patches, with a bit of patience, you will spot razor fish hovering above the sand. This Layang Layang site is also a great one for night dives.
