Dive· Huahine Nui· French Polynesia — Society Islands
Avapeihi Pass Dive
16° 43.5′ S · 151° 2.9′ W · approximate
Huahine's signature pass dive: up to 20 m, suitable for all levels, with Napoleon wrasse, triggerfish, bannerfish and grey reef sharks.
Practical
Approx: the Tahiti Tourisme listing ('Fitii Pass, Avapeihi Pass') gives -16.710684, -151.047150, which on the DPAM map falls at Avamoa Pass rather than Avapeihi, so this pin uses the DPAM-derived Avapeihi position. Dive with a local operator: Mahana Dive is in Fare by the fishermen's marina, and Tahiti Tourisme also lists Pacific Blue Adventure. Diving is banned inside ZMRs; never dive the pass from your own anchored boat.
