Dive Sites
From the beach, you can’t see the other side of the lagoon! The bad news about this atoll is that there are only 2 dive spots, but the good news is that you can see virtually everything that French Polynesia has to offer in these two spots. Spot 1 is "Ava Toru" pass, and spot 2 is "Tiputa" pass. You can dive the same spots and see different things every day.
There are dolphins, hundreds of gray sharks, jack fish, manta rays, hammerhead sharks and sometimes even whale sharks. The whole food chain is represented here. It’s an unforgettable dive experience!
