Right in front of the resort also features big drop offs, and in September and October we often have the unbelievable bonus of humpback whales migrating past. We have yet to see them underwater, but throughout this time we regularly hear whalesong under water and see them from the boat (and the beach!). On one particularily memorable dive our bodies were vibrating so much with the song that we were spinning round in circles underwater, expecting a singing behemoth to appear out of the blue at any second. When we surfaced, the two whales had gone past and were a hundred and fifty metres away, entertaining the boat crew. Mango Down

When we started diving from Mango Bay we immediately discovered some great dive sites. Virtually the first dive we did was Razorback, straight out from Namatakula channel on the corner of the main reef. This dive site is a long ridge that runs out to sea at right angles to the main reef. The ridge is narrow with big dropoffs on either side, starting at around 18 metres by the main reef and sloping down and away until it disappears into the deep blue. Because of its angle to the main reef currents bump into it and push up and over it, meaning a lot of marine life likes to hang around here and enjoy the scenery. The very first dive we did here two big schools of 40 – 50 barracuda, chevronned and blackfins, were lurking around and we quickly became the epicentre of a barracuda vortex as they swirled curiously around us. As they streamed off, 5 eagle rays zoomed out of the depth, flew by in formation line astern before peeling off and gliding away. Then we noticed that
