About Rotui
Rotui is a Moorea reef site between Opunohu Bay and Cook Bay, known for easy warm-water diving, coral reef scenery, and classic French Polynesia marine life. It is a relaxed beginner-friendly dive with a modest maximum depth, clear water on settled days, and enough structure to keep the reef interesting without pushing into hard-drift territory. Rotui works best as a calm boat dive with a local guide, steady buoyancy, and attention to reef edge surge.
