Scuba

Tiputa Pass is a legendary channel dive in the Tuamotu Archipelago. The incoming tide creates a high-speed drift dive that carries divers through a 'wall of sharks', and playful dolphins are often seen interacting with divers in the pass.

Features

A wide, deep pass where the tide creates very strong currents. An incoming tide offers an adrenaline-fueled drift dive with hundreds of grey reef sharks. Dolphins often play in the currents, and manta rays and hammerheads are also seen.
