About this site
Niue is a raised coral atoll in the South Pacific, isolated between Tonga, Samoa and the Cook Islands, known for its steep drop-offs and the absence of runoff since it has no rivers. The Cut is one of the dive and snorkel entry points along its west coast, near the capital Alofi, where the coral shelf is cut through to allow access into deeper water offshore.
