Not to be confused with others, Rangiroa's Blue Hole is a large crater in the middle of the lagoon. Divers can explore the sandy bottom of the hole, which is often full of resting whitetip reef sharks, before exiting through a small tunnel onto the outer reef.

Features

A large, deep hole in the lagoon floor. The main attraction is the large number of whitetip reef sharks that can be found resting on the sandy bottom. A short swim-through tunnel connects the hole to the outer reef.
