Had two amazing adventures with The 6 Passengers Dive Shop, 1st we had a private snorkel tour with Jo the dive master who was awesome. My wife is very nervous of snorkeling and Jo was fantastic keep my wife very calm and re assured. We had a great drift snorkel through the Tiputa pass which I was amazed my wife would even do considering her fear, but we had so much fun and felt extremely safe with Jo and the driver who was extremely safe. In the afternoon I had a drift dive through the Tiputa pass and this was my first dive in several years (I had a refresher a couple of days prior) however Jo again was amazing, the drift was pretty quick current, but Jo did a great job with planning and setting expectations. We swam right through a large school of Barracuda and the dolphins came very close for us to see which was very exciting! This was one of my favorite days on our vacation. Thank you to all the crew at The 6 Passengers dive shop. PS, get lunch there also, the food was fantastic!

I just wrapped up three incredible days of diving with The 6 Passengers in Rangiroa (July 19–21, 2026), and I can recommend this dive center. From the very first “Ia ora na” at the Blue Velvet reception to the final surface interval, every single moment was handled with genuine care and true professionalism.
Over the course of my stay I did nine dives with the team, including the legendary Tiputa Pass, and each one exceeded my expectations. The briefings were clear and detailed, the boat logistics ran smooth, and the atmosphere on board was warm, relaxed, and full of that easygoing spirit that makes you feel at home immediately.
A very special mention has to go to Joana, who was my instructor for the dives. Her attentiveness underwater is remarkable , she has that rare ability to keep an eye on both stuff and you without ever making you feel watched or restricted. Her briefings prepared me for what we were about to see, from the drift dynamics of the pass to the behavior of the sharks and dolphins we encountered…. And more!
What impressed me most about Joana was her care. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and that passion is contagious. By day three I felt like I was diving with a friend rather than a guide.
The rest of the team deserves huge praise too…the boat crews were skilled and friendly,
If you’re heading to Rangiroa, book with The 6 Passengers. And if you’re lucky enough to have Joana as your instructor or guide, you’re in the safest, most caring, and most skilled hands in the lagoon.
Māuruuru roa to the whole team.
Dived: July 19–21, 2026

The dive team here is great. However, I will mention every single person who works here is usually working for a month or two from France. They are super nice and very knowledgeable and helpful. There are a few different dives and your dive will heavily depend on how the current and wind is for that day. Lots of great options I would recommend.
