	Layang Layang and Labuan, Borneo \| Scuba Diving Asia \| Divehappy.com
		We had stopped off at Vernon Bank and, although the coral reefs were somewhat devoid of life due to the intense damage caused by trawlers and dynamite, the discovery of tiny marine animals like strange-looking nudibranchs, fire gobies, and numerous species of juvenile fishes was an experience quite different from that encountered in the Andaman.
		On the day we were to dive at Labuan, visibility was rather poor so we only managed to survey two of the four wrecks.
		I got off the boat, walked just five minutes to a shop, bought a pack of very cheap beer (Labuan is a duty free island), returned to the boat, and celebrated the culmination of my wonderful adventure in the comfort of the air-conditioned living room.
