Lankayan’s reefs offer fantastic coral reefs and fish life too. You’ll find lettuce coral and staghorn coral. Also around are anemones, clown fish, shrimp, seahorses, flying gurnards, jawfish and porcelain crabs. Wreck diving is another highlight in Lankayan. With a number of wrecks around its coastline, wreck divers have both penetrations into the hull as well as observing a different kind of life on deck to look forward to.

Muck diving offers divers the opportunity to flirt with the more bizarre and unusual marine life to be found. Lankayan Island is one of the few destinations worldwide that offers muck diving, wreck diving and coral reef diving – a concoction any dive addict would find hard to pass up.
