Tahi Nui: Tahiti wreck drift near White Valley
Tahi Nui is a Tahiti wreck-and-drift dive near Faa'a and White Valley, where a deeper wreck drops into a coral-garden edge beside a drop-off and the site keeps a moving-water feel. It suits certified divers who want a guided boat run, steady buoyancy, good trim, compact team spacing and a practical macro hunt around the wreck and coral.
