About this site
Rangiroa sits within one of the largest atolls in the Tuamotu archipelago of French Polynesia, and its lagoon is dotted with shallow reef patches used for snorkeling and easy diving between the main passes. A site called Aquarium generally refers to one of these shallower lagoon spots, distinct from the deeper drift dives at Tiputa or Avatoru passes. The name reflects the calm, enclosed nature of the lagoon rather than a single documented dive profile.
