Cook Islands

Muri

Muri is a coastal area on Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, a gateway to freshwater-free tropical Pacific diving. The surrounding lagoon and reefs offer sheltered, calm conditions suitable for beginners and casual divers. Local dive centers primarily run reef dives from nearby access points and provide gear rentals, PADI/SSI courses, and guided dives. Expect clear tropical water, healthy reef fish and steady viz, with occasional manta or turtle sightings depending on site and season. It is a practical base for exploring the island’s nearshore reefs and access to the larger lagoon systems around Rarotonga.
