Tahiti and her neighboring islands are renowned for their superb dive sites. Here you'll find plenty of curiously shaped coral, a rainbow assortment of fish, and astounding undersea plant life. The underwater attractions vary from island to island, and many guests choose to take in a number of dive sites. Diving can be experienced on every island and every resort has diving options. In most places you can just walk out from the beach and see exciting underwater life. Many resorts have dive shops on site.

Whilst diving everywhere is great, the Tuamotos have the reputation for being ‘the’ place. See many varieties of colorful fish, sting rays and manta rays, sharks, dolphins, turtles and even whales at certain times of the year. Diving ranges from simple lagoon dives in shallow waters to experienced drift dives and wreck diving. All levels are catered for. See the great hard corals that form the reefs that surround the islands.

There are some alternatives for those who want to see this extraordinary underwater world but do not dive. On Moorea, visitors can experience the undersea world in a miniature submarine. Bora Bora offers an underwater walk, where visitors age 7 and up can don a special scuba helmet and walk around on the bottom of the beautiful lagoon!
