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.

Dive into a huge aquarium with thousands of horse mackerel (Atures in Polynesian). Home to napoleons, eagle rays, black and white tip sharks and “Mamaru” (local Polynesian shark).
