Ripper
About Ripper
Ripper is a site on the eastern side of an atoll, near the entry area to a well-known pass. It features a large coral mound with a sand chute and a sloping wall dominated by hard corals. The dive can be current-prone and is generally better suited to experienced divers. When current is running, the dive may involve a long swim away from the boat followed by a mid-water ascent and safety stop while drifting back.
