    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Nuhi Nuhi offers a drift dive through Rangiroa's pass, often lively with reef sharks and schooling barracuda. We’ve found the currents here can be robust, so it’s best suited for experienced divers comfortable with moving water. Look out for the resident Napoleon wrasse and groups of grey reef sharks patrolling the drop-off. Visibility is generally excellent, making it a great site for wide-angle photography.
