Favorite thing: I was told that Layang Layang is the place if you want to see the countless Hammer Head Sharks swimming in a group. I've only manage to spot a single 7 footer at Gorgonian Forest. Some spent 9 days at the Island and had never caught the shadow of the Hammer Heads. The good thing is, nobody's dissappointed. You'll see so many other amazing animals such as the huge Marbel Ray, Leopard Shark, Big School of Big Eye Travelly, Giant Travelly, and many more.
Fondest memory: The fantastic dive sites, the friendliest resort crew, the wonderful people I've met on the Island.
