Avatoru Pass

Avatoru Pass is located on the northwestern portion of the Rangiroa lagoon in the Tuamotu Islands of French Polynesia. It is located immediately to the West of the village of Avatoru. There are only two major passes on Rangiroa, the other being Tiputa Pass. The latter is located approximately 8 km Southeast of Avatoru Pass. The Pass is a popular scuba diving location, although the Tiputa Pass is generally preferred by divers.[1]
