Layang-Layang island is located at the north of East Malaysian state Sabah. Known also as Swallow Reef, it is typically a dive resort. It is located in extremely deep waters to at least 2000 meters. Divers here would normally find the usual species of Hammerhead sharks and various other fishes. Most of the island is made from reclaimed land and the waters are still pretty much untouched.

Swallow Reef is located in the middle of the ocean and so far still preserves its natural resources including the pristine coral reef. While Layang-Layang is a diving resort, it does not have much holidaying facilities and fishing is prohibited.
