This vibrant dive site off Moorea dazzles with steep coral walls plunging into the deep. Schools of eagle rays glide past while blacktip reef sharks patrol the drop-off. The current-swept slope teems with colorful anthias and butterflyfish. Healthy hard corals cover the shallows, where green sea turtles often rest. Visibility often exceeds 30 meters in these clear Polynesian waters. The dramatic underwater topography creates thrilling drift dives along the reef's edge. Night dives reveal octopus and lobsters emerging from crevices. Warm water and minimal surge make this accessible year-round.
