Tiputa Pass is one of the two passes into Rangiroa atoll — incoming tide pulls clear ocean water and pelagics into the pass at high speed. Year-round diving; austral summer (Dec–Mar) brings the most variable weather and occasional cyclones. Hammerheads visit Dec–Mar (with stingray gatherings in January drawing them); resident bottlenose dolphins seen in the pass year-round.
