Tako Flats

Tako Flats is one of those sites we always recommend for a relaxed afternoon dive, especially if you’ve spent the morning battling a bit of current elsewhere. It’s a shallow, sprawling area, mostly sand with scattered coral heads, which makes for fantastic light play. You’ll often spot massive schools of fusiliers here, swirling like liquid silver as they try to avoid the resident trevally. The real stars, though, are the smaller, shyer creatures. We always spend ages trying to spot the Dwarf Morays peeking out from under rocks, or watching the Leopard Blennies flit between the stony corals. Keep an eye out for Big Long-nosed Butterflyfish; they’re often in pairs, gently picking at the reef. For macro enthusiasts, there's always something to find. You might even catch a Wedge-tailed Shearwater diving from above if you’re lucky. It's a perfect spot for photographers or anyone who just wants to take their time and really observe the smaller details of the reef.
