    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Rotui, off Moorea, offers a gentle drift along a sloping reef. Expect to see reef sharks cruising the current and plenty of schooling fusiliers, often with jacks hunting through them. It’s a relaxed dive, good for photographers and those looking for a relatively easy drift. We'd suggest it for divers comfortable with mild current.
