Great dive site North of the Island behind the airport. Better when done as a drift dive because there could be some current. Visibility is usually great and the site is also kown as the "white valey" because of a large band of sand t 100ft, and going down very quickly. There main interest is a coral platform at 8Oft where you can sight sea turtles feading sponges, school of baracuda, tunas and some pelagic surprises as dolphins, hammer head shark, or marlin. At the end of the dive, it could be usefull to swim West close to the reef (40-60ft) and try to reach the resident school of jack fishes. Of course the main attraction of the dive site are the Grey reef sharks. The challenge is to attract them inside the school of jack fishes and enjoy the spectacle (see my pictures).
A "not to miss" if you come scubadiving at Borabora.
