About this site
A stunning coral wall plunging into the Pacific, this site near Moorea dazzles with vibrant soft corals and schools of tropical fish. Strong currents bring pelagics like sharks and rays. The wall starts shallow, perfect for all levels, with overhangs and crevices hiding lobsters and moray eels. Visibility often exceeds 30 meters, showcasing the dramatic drop-off. Best dived at slack tide for calm conditions.
