About this site
Sand River is a dive site off Niue, the raised coral atoll nation in the South Pacific between Tonga and the Cook Islands. Niue's coastline lacks rivers or runoff, and its dive sites are instead known for the clarity of the surrounding open ocean, reached by boat from the capital, Alofi.
