2Rangiroa, French Polynesia
Rangiroa, part of the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia, is one of the best places to dive with sharks in the South Pacific. The pass at Tiputa, where the lagoon meets the open ocean, is known for its strong currents and an abundance of sharks. Here, divers can encounter grey reef sharks, blacktip reef sharks, and silvertip sharks. One of the highlights of diving in Rangiroa is the “shark wall,” where hundreds of sharks can be seen patrolling the deep waters. The crystal-clear visibility and vibrant marine life make Rangiroa a must-visit destination for shark enthusiasts.
