About La Faille d Arue
La Faille d Arue is a Tahiti wall dive where a coral plateau gives way to a dramatic fault and a church-door cave feature. The site faces the open ocean, so the outer edge feels more exposed while the plateau and coral garden stay more forgiving. It is a boat dive best suited to intermediate divers and up, with strong coral structure, plentiful reef fish, and occasional bigger predators on the wall.
