About La Faille Pomare
La Faille Pomare is a Tahiti east-coast drop-off that is usually dived as a drift when the current is set right. The wall is steep, the fish life is strong, and incoming water can make encounters with turtles, rays, and sharks feel quick and unpredictable. It suits current-aware scuba divers who want an exposed wall, a short boat plan, and a dive that feels active rather than leisurely.
