Jumping Jack is one of the most northerly channels of Faafu (North Nilandhe) Atoll, made up of a line of around seven thilas within a single kandu that divers move between in sequence. The reefs hold reef sharks, eagle rays and schools of tuna and fusiliers in the blue, with current driving the pelagic action so it suits more experienced divers.
