Best for advanced divers, 15-46m, boat entry, moderate current.
Ceran Pass is a reef and pinnacle site located between Tahaa and Raiatea. The topography features a pass that channels open-ocean water, creating moderate currents that dictate the dive profile. Divers can explore depths ranging from 15 to 46 metres, with visibility typically between 10 and 30 metres. Due to the depth and current, this site is suited for advanced divers. Access is by boat only, and it is essential to coordinate entry times with a local operator to align with the tidal cycle. Be aware of the presence of sharks and a significant thermocline during descent. Proper thermal protection is recommended for these depths.
