About this site
La Patate lies along the reef and lagoon pass system off Moorea, in French Polynesia's Society Islands, a short boat ride from the island's coastal villages. The dive sites around Moorea's passes are typically reached from operators based near Papeete or the island's main towns. Divers here have reported bird wrasse, Hawaiian convict surgeonfish, lagoon triggerfish, orangestripe triggerfish, sixbar wrasse, and ornate butterflyfish moving over the reef, along with leopard sea cucumbers and small giant clams settled on the bottom.
