The marine life is so dense
in Tikehau that Jacques Cousteau declared it to
have the highest concentration of fish among the
Tuamotu Atolls. The diving sites concentrate around
the pass where a mix of large and small species
create a unique experience for all levels of diving.
Species most commonly encountered in Tikehau include
tuna, snapper, wrasse, Moray eel, anemones, clown
fish, and sharks.
