Ripper

Located on the eastern side of the atoll, close to the water entry point to the world famous RIP. Can be current prone so not usually one for novice divers. If current is running we may swim away for the boat for 45 minutes, then swim up and out into the blue and then drift back to the boat for a mid water safety
