Pointe fa’aupo
Overview
Description
The only spot on the island without a lagoon, this uncrowded, vibrant, and diverse dive site is perfect for certified divers looking to combine exploration with marine life observation. The dive begins with a drop-off as there are no buoys. A coral plateau extends to a depth of 8-10 meters, followed by a gentle slope that ends in a vast area of white sand. This area is frequented by male singing whales (August-November), and the boat trip takes approximately 25 minutes.
