Gorgonian Forest is situated adjacent to the Point and Dogtooth Lair. This is one of the best dive site in Layang-Layang. At the depth of 35m, the wall is decorated with large, healthy gorgonians fans, polyps feeding in the passing current, scarlet whip corals and barrel sponges.

If you swim away from the wall and looking into the deep blue expanse of the open sea, you will sometimes notice schools of big-eyed jacks, lone barracudas and flashes of scalloped hammerhead sharks swimming close to the reef.

  • Depth - 15 to 40m
  • Visibility - 10 - 30m
  • Dive Rating - 3 stars
  • Hazards - Current, dont venture too far from the wall
