Thanks to its TV wildlife documatentaries, Tumakohua pass has became an internationally renowned site.
Accessible to any diver, it offers, in addition to its splendid coral formation, a large concentration of gray sharks.

For best observations, we supply dives with incoming current, which occurs on average, 2 x 5 days per month.

To optimize your chances to go: tides schedule are open a year in advance, please consult us.

Favor the end of the year (October to April). During the trade winds season (May / October), the wind can force us to postpone the excursion.
