The Diving Of Rangiroa
Diving Tiputa Pass
Rangiroa’s lagoon is what brings divers from around the world to this small atoll in the middle of the Pacific. The fantastic visibility and the shear volume and density of marine life is astounding. On the outgoing tide, diving is done on the ocean side of the reef. When the tide is coming into the lagoon is when drift dives are performed with the current. This tends to be our customers favorite option. The marine life that you may encounter is very impressive. There are manta rays, eagle rays, turtles, moray eels, schools of barracuda, grey reef sharks, black tip sharks, the occasional great hammerhead and even the silky shark can be witnessed on occasion.
The Big Blue to Tiputa Pass
When the tide is going out another one of our favorite dives to do is the steep oceanic drop-offs where there is much less current. There are sedentary dolphins which frequent this area and encounters with these animals are regular occurrences. There are also several different species of rays and turtles which can be found in these dive sites along with countless fish.
