Layang - Layang Island 2008


" Encounter with the Hammerheads "….. in May 2008
300 km North of Kota Kinabalu lies the " Jewel of the Borneo Banks -Layang - Layang Island. " This remote oceanic atoll is yet another example of the World Class Diving to be found in Borneo, Malaysia. Its Coral walls plunge a staggering 6000 feet (2000 metres) down to the floor of the South China Sea. Venturing below the surface of the sparkling blue water, you'll be met with an average visibility of 150 feet (50 metres) and find a dive destination that is largely unexplored. This offers the adventurous diver, an opportunity to experience " Frontier Diving " at its best.


After many many successful group trips in 5 years, again I am offering the famous Layang Layang.

Layang Layang (which is famous for the schooling hammerheads, Mantas, Schooling Jacks. Schooling Devil Rays, Sighting of whale shark May 2007, Schooling Giant Tunas, Macrolife and not forgetting over the years visibility from 20 – 40 metres , I have been lucky all these 5 years!) as follows:-

Destination: Layang Layang Island Resort , Malaysian Borneo Sabah .

Would you be interested to come along?

PAINTBALL @ Rimba Harmonis 30 March 2008 (Sunday)

Dear Buddies

I was fortunate enough to be able to take up PAINTBALL as a new hobby apart from my diving. This game was introduce to me by 2 of my fellow dive buddies.

I make an effort and joined them and was fortunate enough to meet new friends and I find that I truly enjoyed this game. I would like to share this new hobby of mine with all of you to come join me and the group and do the same.

I must say it is really a break away from town stress and we had lots of laughs and also not forgetting to mentioned loads of sweat out of the body and adrenaline rush….

There are a number of divers now playing too .

Okay the next game will be as follows. You are most welcome to come join us.
