TIKEHAU PLONGEE, 98778 TIKEHAU

Manta Point (★4.5)

Initially this dive site is for beginners and first-dive from the boat at anchor. On a sandy seabed dotted with coral patates, manta rays come to be deparasitised, much to your delight.
Mares, Janez Kranjc

Passe de Tikehau - Tuheiava (★4.6)

Small tikehau pass, max depth 30 meters, easy dive in incoming current drift dive, all the drift is done in less than 10 m of bottom very nice dive for beginners and experts.

Teonai (★4.7)

Start the dive on the reef, descent along the oceanic drop-off, to arrive on a plateau at 20m. Explore the plateau and dive back to the channel to return to the boat.(depth 6 to 50 meters). Very pretty reef, school of fish of all kinds.
