North Save-a-tack is a shallow reef located in the Yasawa Islands, Fiji, with the reef top sitting between 2 and 4 metres. While the site is rated for advanced divers, the primary challenge is the moderate current rather than the depth. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 30 metres. The reef structure supports a variety of marine life, including Napoleon Wrasse, Potato Bass, and Giant Moray. Smaller species such as Mandarinfish, Emperor Angelfish, Moorish Idol, Fire Dartfish, Pixy Hawkfish, and Tompot Blenny are found within the reef crevices. Access to this site is by boat only, and early morning dives are recommended to avoid midday sun glare.
