About this site
Tetiaroa is an atoll in the Society Islands of French Polynesia, once a private retreat and now best known through the small islet of Onetahi. Dive sites around the atoll are reached by boat from this side of the reef, along the passes and outer slopes where the lagoon meets open ocean.
