Namena Barrier Reef and North Save a Tack

Namena is in the migratory path of both whale and dolphin species, is lined with islands where turtles come to lay their eggs and just thrives with life. There are something like 400 different kinds of coral growing on the reef and thousands of different kinds of fish, including very healthy populations of jacks and barracudas. North Save a Tack begins as a wall dive known for shoals of jacks and yellowtail barracudas then levels out onto a flat plateau sprouting sea grasses and gorgonian fans. Channels, tunnels and a rocky bridge are the other features, but it’s the coral colours that have given this spot its international reputation. Chimneys is another well known local dive centred around three large coral bommies – it’s a good place to commune with eels – and there is a lot to investigate growing on the bommies, but take care this is an exposed site and the currents, which are what support so much life and colour, can be unfriendly.
