Located 65 km from the Malaysia coast, this island is home to an active fishing community. Together with neighbouring islands of Aur and Lang, Dayang is a great favourite with many divers. Its relative remoteness ensures its corals are in good condition. Expect to find plenty of parrotfishes, barracudas, anemones and a wide variety of nudibranches. Diving ranges from rock boulders and submerged reefs to wrecks. If you’re lucky, you might even chance upon whale shark! Have fun!
