Scuba Diving in Rarotonga, the Cook Islands

Reader Reviews:

Site: Arorangi Rock Wall

Location: Rarotonga

Description: Reef / drift

Depth: 32 metres (105 feet)

Visibility: 30 metres (100 feet)

Rating: ****

A really blue dive. The hard coral at Arorangi Rock is excellent, except where it has been damaged by Crown of Thorns starfish. The first thing we saw on entry was a small eagle ray and some orange spiney unicornfish. As I cruised along the sandy bottom I spotted two moray eels and some neon fusiliers. At the end of the dive there were about nine lionfish and a small white mouth moray.
