Teavanui Pass

This dive site, Teavanui Pass, serves as the main entry and exit point for Bora Bora's famous lagoon. Dives here are typically drift dives, where divers are carried by the often strong currents through the pass. While there's no specific historical narrative provided, the pass's dynamic nature, driven by tidal flows, ensures a constant influx of nutrients and marine life, creating a vibrant underwater environment. The strong currents are a magnet for large pelagic animals. Divers can expect to witness impressive schools of jacks and barracudas. Blacktip reef sharks are a very common sight, patrolling the pass. Beyond the larger creatures, the site also boasts a rich diversity of coral fish fauna, making for a lively reef experience. The best time to experience Teavanui Pass often coincides with incoming or outgoing tides, as these periods are when the currents are strongest and pelagic activity is at its peak. Due to the challenging conditions, this dive is specifically recommended for advanced divers who are comfortable with strong currents and rapid drift. Freedivers would also need significant experience and comfort with such conditions to safely enjoy the site.
