Rangiroa

In the Tuamotu Archipelago lies Rangiroa, one of the largest coral atolls in the world. More than 240 small islets link in a ring of coral surrounding a turquoise lagoon. Rangiroa's two passes into the lagoon offer exceptional and exciting drift diving with crystal clear water, huge schools of pelagic fish including sharks, manta rays and dolphins. At certain times of year whales and giant hammerhead sharks can be seen. This is the place to come to for exciting diving and is a mecca for shark action!
