Tuamotu is made of tiny pieces of coral scattered over hundreds of kilometers on the western part of the South Pacific. In these French Polynesian islands exist human communities whose simple way of life seems make them still happy. Rangiroa is famous for its biodiversity that can be observed mainly when diving or snorkeling in passes. These activities must be done with professionals and guides. Several highly qualified diving centers are present on the atoll.
Les Tuamotu sont faits de petits bouts de corail éparpillés sur des centaines de kilomètres sur la partie Est du Pacifique Sud. Dans ces îles de la Polynésie Française vivent des communautés humaines qui semblent encore à ce jour profiter pleinement d'une vie simple mais heureuse. Rangiroa est réputée pour sa riche biodiversité marine qui peut être observée en plongée ou randonnée palmée principalement dans les passes. Ces pratiques nécessitent un encadrement. On trouve de nombreuses structures professionnelles sur place.
