Makemo - Arikitamiro Pass Dive Site — French Polynesia
About Makemo - Arikitamiro Pass
One of the Tuamotus' least-visited atolls, Makemo's Arikitamiro Pass harbors pristine populations of grey reef sharks, silvertip sharks, and large pelagics in untouched reef habitat. The strong currents attract predators in impressive numbers, while the virgin coral formations along the pass walls remain in perfect condition. This is frontier diving at its finest for advanced divers seeking unexplored territory.
