About La Vavi
La Vavi is a Tahiti Iti ocean reef with a gorgonian-covered overhang, coral pockets, and white-tip reef shark interest. The dive is best treated as a guided boat profile from the peninsula, with the main structure easing into a more open blue-water edge. It suits comfortable divers who want reef texture, shaded life, and a calm, deliberate pace.
