La Faille St Etienne, Tahiti
★★★★☆
(1,585)
Beautiful opening in the reef. A lot of verticality when arriving at the St. Etienne Drop-off. The upper part of the drop-off is very lively, with plenty of fish and turtles. A magnificent dive, especially with good visibility.
This site is teeming with numerous colorful tropical fish, but you will also likely come across a sleeping turtle in the nooks of the drop-off.
