The valley dive site is all about action! It is a gentle slope with many nice coral formations located at the Western point of Layang Layang island. Here you can see many pelagic fishes swimming in the current and many sharks hunting for their next meal. During the right season in May and April you can have the great chance to dive with hundreds of Hammerhead Sharks around you. They are usually in the blue a bit further away from the reef. As witrh everywhere in Layang Layang island, you might also spot a Manta Ray circling around or a turtle resting in one of the cracks along the wall. Moreover, there is also the small stuff like many Nudibranchs or Flatworms. Diving here is like heaven for underwater photography with outstanding visibility. Enjoy
Best time to dive: the ideal period to plan holidays here isFebruary to April. Access: from the Shore. See the map of The Valley on the right for the exact location.
