About Tupitipiti
Tupitipiti is a dramatic Bora Bora wall dive for divers who want steep relief, clear water, and a lot of life packed into one run. The site combines caves, faults, and canyon-like cuts on a big drop-off, then settles into a colorful wall with coral and gorgonians. It is best planned as a boat dive in settled weather because southeast wind and swell can make the point less forgiving than sheltered lagoon sites. Sharks, barracuda, jacks, and other big-water fish make it feel more pelagic than postcard-calm.
