Tribe Gate
Shallow Havelock seamount dive with coral gardens and giant clams.
A short-boat Havelock seamount dive with shallow shelves, clear water, and dense reef life that works well for beginner-friendly boat dives.
About Tribe Gate
Tribe Gate is a compact boat dive on a submerged oval seamount off Havelock Island, with sandy surroundings, shallow coral shelves, and dense reef life. The profile is small enough to feel intimate but varied enough to reward slow exploration, especially for photographers, training dives, and relaxed reef tours when the sea is calm. It is known for coral ruins, giant clams, clownfish, and schools of fusiliers and damselfish, along with barracuda, surgeonfish, filefish, and sea kraits.
