Do you have Level 1 diving or higher? Discover the remarkable sites of Tahiti with warm, clear waters and a rich and varied underwater life!

Whether in the ocean or the lagoon, Tahiti offers a wide range of scuba-diving sites with a variety of themes: drop-offs, faults, underwater springs, peaks, canyons, wrecks, sharks, turtles, etc. So take a morning to discover 1 or 2 of Tahiti's 30 dive sites, where you can admire its underwater fauna: colourful nudibranchs, sharks, schools of jacks, rays and even dolphins!

On this morning, you will make 2 dives in Tahiti in a small group, lasting between 45 and 60 minutes at a depth of between 15 and 29 metres maximum (depending on your diving level). The choice of dive sites will depend on the weather conditions and your level. Among them, you can explore :

Vallée Blanche (White Valley)

It is a very popular spot due to its great fauna made out of grey sharks, Maori snappers, lemon sharks, schools of jacks, blacktip reef sharks, schools of barracudas, eagle rays, and more! A few tiger sharks can sometimes be spotted around. There's also a stoned Tiki watching over the dive site.

La Source (The Spring)

This diving site is definitely a must-do! Coral reefs, turtles, chevron barracudas, eagle rays, white-tip reef sharks, humphead Maori wrasses, and an underwater spring will make you impatient to plunge into the ocean!

Hydravion et Goélette (Seaplane & Shooner)

You will explore the Catalina PBY-5A wreck, which the US Navy gave to the RAI, the ancestor of Air Tahiti. In 1960, it was seriously damaged whilst landing in Raiatea, and after being judged useless, it was brought back in Tahiti to be sunk in November 1962. It's now lying on a 20-metre depth bottom. About 10 meters from there, you will see the Orohena wreck, a wooden 45-meter long schooner. It was blown up in 1977 at a depth of 20 to 25 meters and is used as a shelter to a rich marine life.

Accessible to all Level 1/Open Water divers and above, these exploration dives in Tahiti will delight you!
