Teavapiti Pass Dive

16° 44.2′ S · 151° 25.1′ W

Raiatea's signature pass dive: a 10 m plateau in Teavapiti Pass where blacktip, whitetip and grey reef sharks patrol with trevally, barracuda and spotted eagle rays.

Practical

Pass dive, 0–24 m (Tahiti Tourisme). Dive on the incoming flow with a local operator: Hemisphère Sub (Apooiti) or Te Mara Nui Plongée (Marina Uturoa). Boats transit the pass, so a flag and a dive boat are essential. Position from the Tahiti Tourisme listing.

Best for

Sharks and eagle rays in the pass
