This video got us all speechless. But we will sum it up with one word. PARADISE. 😍

The convergence of two dive sites, Gorgonian Forest and Dogtooth Lair, forms a sharp corner that we call The Point. It is a gradual slope from 5m to 18m, then a steep slope down into the abyss. The currents here can be tricky at times, but this is where we usually hunt for hammerheads. Sometimes, we would leave early (6 or 7am) to increase our chances of hammerhead sightings. Depending on the current, we would drop in at the top of the reef at 5m, then slowly descend to 20m as we head out into the blue (meaning away from the reef) in search of the sharks. We would spend about 10-15mins out there, and if we find what we're looking for, we'd stay there as long as our no decompression limit allows. After that, we then find our way back to the reef and end the dive with a school of jackfish or barracudas accompanying our safety stop! Sometimes, divers might even see manta rays, eagle rays, and devil rays here. Other marine animals commonly seen here are dogtooth tunas, white tip sharks, and grey reef sharks.
The hammerhead sharks are usually seen out in the blue, but sometimes after coming back to the reef without a single sighting, we'd bump right into a school at the shallow reef! Layang Layang is truly full of surprises.
In the video, you can hear a loud beeping sound: an alarm from our camerawoman's dive computer set to beep at 27m. Being out in the blue with no reference point, it is important to be aware of our depth, especially if we see a school of hammerheads! In our excitement, the last thing we want is accidentally going deeper than our limit.
