Mr Hammerhead sharks came to say hello!



















Here are some of the snapshots of the dive sites that you can find at Layang Layang. The hot favourites are The Point and the Gorgonian Forest. We were there for obvious reasons... To find the scalloped hammerhead sharks.

For those of you who have the patience to find the elusive Pygmy seahorses, there are plenty of Gorgonian fans for you to hunt of these little creatures in which they call home. Here's a preview of Pygmy seahorse in case some of you non divers out there might be wondering what sort of creature is this. Take note: this is a CLOSE up shot of the seahorses. They measure only about 1/2" tall in real life.




Alternatively, just float effortlessly, keep your fingers cross and wait for the hammerhead sharks to come.

Day 1- No hammerhead sharks, just the devil rays passing by to say hello... Day 2 - no hammerhead sharks , Day 3 - we were getting desperate ... so NO hammerhead sharks.
By the fourth day, we were so desperate and worried that we will never see the hammerhead sharks. There was a Japanese man who came THREE times to Layang to see the sharks but he always went home disappointed. You should have seen the smile on his face when he finally saw those creatures.

Finally, we managed to see it!!!! I have attached some pics with the courtesy of Mr Bruno Cozzi, who had captured these pictures. They are so beautiful............
