Tiki

This dive site, known as Tiki, is located in French Polynesia and is easily accessible by a short 10-minute boat ride. The site's topography runs from north to west, offering a varied underwater landscape. However, it is exposed to waves and sometimes strong currents, making weather conditions a crucial factor for a safe and enjoyable dive. Divers should be prepared for potentially variable conditions. Tiki boasts an impressive array of marine life, including several species of sharks such as Grey Sharks, Lemon Sharks, Nurse Sharks, and Black Tip Reef Sharks. Divers can also encounter a variety of reef fish like Snappers, Wrasses, Pufferfish, Groupers, Angels, and Butterflyfish, along with majestic Turtles. The best time to visit Tiki is entirely dependent on favorable weather conditions, which ensure calmer seas and safer diving. This site is particularly recommended for intermediate divers comfortable with variable currents and surface chop, offering an excellent opportunity for wide-angle photography focusing on the abundant shark population and other large marine animals. While possible for experienced freedivers on calm days, snorkelers should exercise caution due to exposure to waves and potential currents.
