The Tuamotu Archipelago comprises 78 low islands or coral atolls, scattered over several hundred miles of the eastern Pacific Ocean governed by French Polynesia. The most common for divers are Rangiroa, Manihi, Apataki, Toau, Kaukura & Fakarava. Life on these remote atolls is simple and normally quiet and peaceful. The interior lagoons are heaven for black pearl farms, fish parks, snorkeling and scuba diving.

Rangiroa with it's 42 mile long, by 16 mile wide turquoise lagoon, is the largest atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago. Only an hour flight from Tahiti and you have landed in the most well know diving paradise of Tahiti so far. The famous dive sites of Rangiroa attract divers from around the world. A breathtaking array of large species awaits divers outside the reef along the oceanic drop-off, including squadrons of eagle rays, schools of black tip, silver tip, and Great Hammerhead sharks, tuna, jacks, and barracuda. The lagoon waters are teeming with neon-colored fish, dolphins, turtles, and giant Manta Rays.
'Shoot the pass' is the adrenaline rush as divers and fish of all kinds are carried away through the pass between the open ocean and lagoon alongside and infinite array of marine life!
