Diving in Tikehau

Tikehau is considered to be the most fish-rich atoll in the Tuamotu Islands. Millions of fish live in this untouched transparent world. Their volume is so much that Jacques Cousteau’s research crew dubbed it “the most fish abundant Tuamotu atoll”. The only pass on the island is the gathering place for pelagic species and promises to offer you great encounters.
