Boat-access north-facing pass dive with a short run from the center, a drift from lagoon to ocean, and coral ridges broken by sandy channels. The current makes it a proper drift, but the route is straightforward and regularly turns up sharks, morays, wrasses, triggerfish, trumpetfish, and turtles. Calm timing matters more than depth, because the pass rewards a clean entry and a steady exit through the channel.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
10m - 19m
Depth Note
Coral ridges and sandy channels keep the working line roughly in the 10 to 19 m range.
Best Season
Year-round, with calmer water windows making drift timing easier.
Typical Conditions
North-facing pass with steady outflow, coral ridges, and sandy channels; best when the boat can time the drift cleanly.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Plan as a drift, keep the current line in view, and respect the exit timing through the pass.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The dive begins in the lagoon and drifts through the pass to the ocean.
Freediving
The current-driven pass is mainly a scuba drift profile rather than a freedive route.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is best kept to the sheltered lagoon edge; the pass itself is mainly for divers.
