The Austral Islands sit in the South Pacific Ocean at a higher latitude than most other French Polynesian groups, and the water reflects that position: temperatures dip noticeably in the austral winter, cooling to the low-to-mid twenties by mid-year. Diving is done by boat, and the reef structure descends to significant depth. The islands are known for humpback whale encounters during the migration season from August to October, alongside resident reef species including whitetip reef sharks, Napoleon wrasse, and giant moray. The operator based in Moerai provides access to the region.
