Te Ava Piti

Te Ava Piti, for us, is one of Bora Bora's most reliable passes. You'll find it cutting through the barrier reef on the island's south side. We usually drop in just outside the pass and let the current carry us gently inwards. It's a drift dive, so staying aware of your group is key, but the pace is often perfect for soaking it all in. What we really love about Te Ava Piti is the sheer volume of fish. It's a highway for them, especially the big schools of surgeonfish and parrotfish that move through. We’ve seen long-beaked dolphins here more than once, just cruising past, completely unbothered by us. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, the cleaner wrasse doing their diligent work, and those false-eyed pufferfish blending into the coral. The visibility is usually excellent, often pushing 25 meters, giving you a great view of the coral formations as you glide by. It’s a site that really makes you feel part of the ocean's flow, suitable for anyone comfortable with a gentle current.
