About this site
Manihi is an atoll in the Society Islands' northern neighbor group, the Tuamotu Archipelago, in French Polynesia, known for the pass connecting its lagoon to the open Pacific. Dive sites in this area are typically reached by boat from the small village near the pass, with diving centered on the channel where lagoon water exchanges with the ocean.
