While the region is famous for its diving, the atoll itself offers easy access to drift dives, wall drops, and manta encounters at certain sites. Local dive centers operate from nearby atolls and Rangiroa, offering guided dives, equipment rental, and courses. Access is typically by domestic flights or boat transfers from Tahiti, with conditions that are warm, tropical, and highly dependent on tides and currents.
