1- the TAUATI Ferry will be anchored in the middle of Opunohu Bay, in the middle of swimming section n°3 for the XL.
Athletes will have to swim and then climb back onto the ship using a rope ladder. Two ladders will be available in case two pairs arrive at the ship's hull at the same time.
SAFETY ATTENTION: – Only 1 person per ladder is allowed at a time. To wait your turn, please move a few meters away (in case of a fall). – The lanyard is prohibited for boarding the boat. – We recommend that you wear goggles around your neck.
2- Once on board, in the garage, follow the marked route. Jump from the gangway as in the first jump.
3- From a certain time, the Ferry will have to leave again towards Vaiare to continue its rotations between Moorea and Tahiti. The athletes still on the upstream course will be diverted and will swim towards a buoy to cross the bay simply.
