Best places to dive with Bigeye trevally

Schools sit in the current at Suanggi, Hatta and Koon, often tight enough to block the light. Best on the flood at Koon, where the tide concentrates the baitfish they are working.

Schooling jacks and trevally are reported on most of the wrecks, particularly the Blue Water and Cement wrecks where the water is clearer. Year-round; no seasonality documented.

Possible in suitable habitat; no unsupported peak is applied.

Large schools of jacks and trevally are a consistent feature around the seamounts and arches year-round, often massing thick enough to shade the reef.

Schools stack at the mouth of the Maratua channel alongside the barracuda, most reliably when the current is running. Numbers vary dive to dive.

The schooling jacks reported at Dogtooth Lair, Gorgonian Forest and The Runway, often listed locally as horse-eye jacks. Densest when current runs on the drop-off.

Schools hold around pinnacles and channel edges year-round, with hunting activity more visible in current.

Schools of jacks/trevally patrol Pescador and Sunken Island, sometimes shadowing the sardine baitball.

The schooling trevally (locally 'jackfish') at Balicasag are the region's signature sight, reported year-round at Divers Heaven and along the Black Forest drop-off. School size and position vary day to day and the tight tornado formation is not guaranteed on any given dive.

Resident; forms dense schools around the pinnacles, notably Steve's Bommie and Pixie Pinnacle. Year-round; not seasonal.

The jack tornado at Barracuda Point, present year-round (Sipadan closed in November).

Schools form on current at the exposed points; numbers build when the drift is running.

Trevally pass through the outer sites, particularly the more exposed northern reefs. Con Dao does not have documented schooling aggregations of the kind seen in the Coral Triangle.

Trevally and jacks patrol the deeper wrecks, notably the Irako, hunting the resident baitfish. Present through the year but not in large schools.

Jackfish and trevally school on current at Apo's exposed points such as Coconut Point and Mamsa Point; numbers build when the drift is running.

Schooling jacks and other pelagic fish move through Ticao Pass and over Bobby's Wall alongside tuna and anchovy schools.

Schooling trevally are a feature of 8 Mile Rock's pelagic feeding activity.

Schools around the pinnacles and larger reef sites, sometimes in tight tornadoes at Chumphon and Sail Rock.

Trevally schools are reported around Una Una and the B-24, without reliable month-by-month data.
