The Runway Dive Site

The Runway is a very good dive site of Layang Layang. It is located between the two channels. Here you can see many reef sharks such as Whitetip reef sharks and the bigger Grey reef sharks patrolling and hunting the area. The visibility is most of the time outstanding and if you are lucky enough and during the right season (April, May) you may get the chance to spot hundreds of Hammerheads Sharks in a gigantic school all around you, what an experience! So don’t forget your underwater camera Along the wall covered with nice hard and soft coral, you can also observe many pelagic fishes swimming around such as Dogtooth Tuna or Barracudas and even a Manta Ray may just come to say hello!

Best time to dive: the ideal period to plan holidays here isFebruary to April. Access: from the Shore. See the map of The Runway on the right for the exact location.
