"Dive or Snorkel Tiputa Tiputa Pass is the space where the reef wall breaks, allowing marine life to stream into and out of the lagoon. Diving or snorkeling through the pass is a magnificent experience as long as you just go with the flow. (They call this "shooting the pass" because you'll be dropped off into the open-ocean side of the pass and then drift through it back to the safety of the lagoon.) Although you'll travel in a swift current, it's perfectly safe, and you'll get to fly past thousands of fish as you do it, making for even more excitement."
