About this site
Tikehau is one of the atolls of the Tuamotus in French Polynesia, an archipelago known for its passes and lagoon dive sites reached by boat from the small villages along the atoll rim. The Old Pearl Farm site takes its name from the pearl farming operations once common in the lagoon, where oyster lines were strung in the sheltered waters.
