Practical

Ph +689 87 70 15 08, infoenata@gmail.com (2025 brief). Kokopeli (Oct 2018) dove the south pass with Mattius of Enata, by then based at Hirifa, who picked them up from and dropped them back at their moorings. Tahiti Tourisme calls it a south-pass specialist. A 2022 crew found it expensive and rushed, but was guided to the shark observatory cave. Coordinate approx: corrected Oct 2026 to the OSM 'Hirifa' node (node 13664141935), the same point as Hirifa Beach; the earlier value sat about 200 m off it. Enata's base is not mapped and the 2025 brief gives contacts but no location, so its Hirifa base rests on the 2018 cruiser report; confirm by phone.

Best for

Being collected from a Hirifa or Tetamanu anchorage
