This dive site is a unique, shallow sandbank located in the north of Moorea's lagoon, specifically renowned for its incredible interactions with marine life. It requires boat access to reach this serene spot. Navigation is straightforward given the shallow, clear waters of the sandbank, making it an ideal location for observation and interaction rather than complex underwater exploration.
The primary draw of Moorea Sharks Sandbank is the abundant marine life. Visitors can swim alongside dozens of blacktip reef sharks, some exceeding four feet in length, and friendly pink whiprays. While the landscape itself is a simple sandbank, the focus is entirely on these captivating animal encounters.
This site is excellent for those seeking a unique wildlife experience, especially snorkelers and beginner divers due to its minimal depth. It's a year-round destination, but generally best visited during the dry season (May to October) for optimal visibility. Freedivers will also find the shallow, clear waters perfect for breath-hold diving with the sharks and rays.
