Diving with Dolphins at Tiputa Pass, Rangiroa
There are few places in the World where you can interact with wild Dolphins during scuba diving. In Rangiroa, French Polynesia, the Dolphins are really happy to see scuba divers and the dive guides know how to approach them. It seems to me that the Dolphins like to be stroked.
Tiputa Pass in Rangiroa is one of the BEST dive sites in the World for underwater wild life. The visibility is top notch (40+ meters) and you can encounter just about anything. During five dives, we saw:
1. Hundreds of Sharks,
2. A large Tiger Shark swimming by
3. A fully grown great Hammerhead Shark coming up to inspect us
4. Eagle Rays
5. A huge school of Barracuda (bigger than the one at Sipadan)
6. Tons of other fish and big Moray eels
7. A few turtles
8. Plenty of Dolphin Action

Rangiroa, a hidden diving paradise in French Polynesia!
A video memory of our trip to Rangiroa. This huge atol with a tiny village, inhabited by 3,000 people, is as charming as it gets and hosts one of the world's best dive sites: the Tiputa Pass. The pass is a spectacle both under and above the water. Aside from it all, its crystal clear blue waters and sandy beaches are just picture perfect!
We dove with Rangiroa Plongée and got to swim with dolphins, myriads of sharks, an eagle ray, a manta ray and loads of fish.

French Polynesia - The dolphins of rangiroa
Auf Rangiora ist es wunderschön und die Tauchgänge sind hier sehr spannend. Begegnungen mit Delfinen, Marlinen, Grau- und Hammerhaien und Mantas sind geradezu vorprogrammiert. Besonders die Delfine trifft man hier regelmäßig unter Wasser an, und mit etwas Glück sind die intelligenten Tiere zum Spielen aufgelegt. Sie begleiten dann die Taucher während des Tauchganges und lassen sich auch streicheln. Allein die Delfine entscheiden wie lange der Spaß dauert und wie nah man an sie herankommt. Wenn Sie keine Lust mehr haben verschwinden sie wieder ins tiefe Blau.
