About this site
A shallow lagoon dive teeming with giant clams, some over a meter wide. The sandy bottom slopes gently, perfect for beginners. Crystal-clear water offers excellent visibility year-round. Colorful reef fish dart between the clams, while occasional eagle rays glide overhead. The site sits inside Aitutaki's protected lagoon, ensuring calm conditions. Ideal for underwater photography with vibrant blues and abundant marine life. Best explored during slack tide when currents are minimal.
