Still time, says Layang Layang
Layang Layang Island Resort says that there is still time for divers to take advantage of a special promotion for those booking a dive trip to its marine life-packed local waters.
Divers planning a trip to the Malaysian island resort this summer are being offered the chance to get a whole year of diving advice, information and inspiration for free. That's because the resort is offering complimentary 12-month subscriptions to DIVER magazine to the first 150 guests booking for at least 6 nights.
The promotion runs until the end of August, and Layang Layang Island Resort says that there is still the chance to benefit from the free subscription offer.
Renowned for its manta rays, hammerhead sharks, pristine corals and wall-to-wall fish, Layang Layang is a coral atoll lying in the South China Sea. An hour's flight from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, it has earned an enviable reputation among divers looking for a full-on marine life experience.
A traditionally styled three-star resort offering air-conditioned rooms and east-meets-west cuisine, Layang Layang Island Resort's diving packages start at around US$600 for full-board accommodation plus three boat dives a day.
Existing DIVER magazine subscribers based anywhere in the world will, of course, be able to extend automatically their subscription for a further 12 issues if they are one of the lucky 150.
