| The second biggest atoll in Polynesia, a 60 km
by 25 km rectangle has two main villages: Rotoava in the northeast
near the Ngarue pass, one kilometer wide and its airdrome; and then
there is Tetamanu, formerly the main village of the island located
near the southern Tumakohua pass.
This protected atoll together with its six neighboring islands,
originally including Taiaro, makes up a Unesco classified
nature reserve, which is the proof of the richness of the ecosystem of
these atolls.
The real drawcard to the island is its scuba diving which
still holds its share of excitement : loach, meru, barracuda, rays
and the highly memorable
hammerhead and tiger sharks.
