About this site
A shallow, sandy plateau near Tahiti teems with green sea turtles grazing on seagrass. Gentle currents and clear visibility make it ideal for beginners. The sandy bottom slopes to coral patches where stingrays and reef sharks cruise. Expect warm water year-round and occasional eagle rays gliding overhead. Easy access from shore or boat.
