The club is located on the white sand beach on the bay of Ohutu, near the hotel Kia ora village. Facing the lagoon, our traditionally - styled "fare" is open every day of the year.
Dive sites. Rangiroa’s reputation as far as the bottom of the sea goes, needs no embellishment. The atoll possesses incredible underwater wealth. The coral landscapes drop in dizzying bluffs
and open into two huge passes, Tiputa and Avatoru.
The visibility, as a general rule, is excellent, sometimes exceeding fifty meters (about 160 feet). As to the temperature of the water, it varies according to the season, between 27° and 30° C (80° and 87° F).
* The lagoon. For beginners, the dives take place inside the lagoon, in the so-called " aquarium ", a small oasis of life and of colors on a sandy bottom scattered with coral, less than 12 meters(39 feet) deep.
* The passes. For certified divers, the dives take place near the passes, depending on the currents. These are always drift dives in ten different dive sites. But here, the site hardly matters; it is what you will discover that creates the magic of each immersion.
* The reef. When the current flows out, the lagoon empties and the pass is not practicable. Therefore, the dives take place on the outside, along the ocean reef cliffs. The encounters are many always changing and above all unexpected.
* Fauna. A large variety of sponges, invertebrates and corals carpet the underwater depths. But above all, it is the density of animal life that is so impressive. Myriads of tropical fish : jackfish, parrot fish, wrasses, barracudas, groupers, tunas… inhabit the dive sites living side by side with huge eels and turtles.
At least four different types of sharks are easily observed. The hammerhead sharks regulary frequent the Tiputa pass from December to March. You will often meet spotelled eagle rays, sometimes flying in formations of thirty or more and of course the manta rays are the honored stars of the show, especially from July to October.
