Blue Lagoon
Why dive here
With 146+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, dolphins, giant moray eels, octopuses and sperm whales - Blue Lagoon offers some of Rangiroa's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-29°C, warmest March, April, May.
Rangiroa's Blue Lagoon is a tranquil, shallow area, perfect for a relaxed second dive or a surface interval. We often see blacktip reef sharks patrolling the sandy bottom, sometimes even lemon sharks. It’s an ideal spot for newer divers or those looking for a gentle drift, away from the bigger currents of the passes. Bring your wide-angle lens for those shark encounters.
