Layang Layang Scuba Diving

Navigator's Lane

Navigator's Lane lies on the northern side of Layang Layang atoll, just to the east of Crack Reef. It boasts of a huge variety of corals - both hard and soft - sea fans and whips.

As a result of its rich coral gardens in depths of 5 to 15 metres, the reef life here is abundant, and it's possible to make either a classic multilevel dive, or just a tranquil exploration of the shallows, depending on your mood.

Hammerhead sharks in particular are regular visitors to this Layang Layang diving site, so you can look forward to some big fish action with these apex predators of the sea.

Besides additional encounters with grey reef sharks, manta rays, eagle rays, barracudas and the like, this Layang Layang dive site has enough marine life for macrolife enthusiasts as well, with brightly coloured nudibranchs, and commensal and anemone shrimps in abundance.
