Diving Exploration in Tahiti

Rich in biodiversity, Tahiti's waters offer an incredible environment for exploration diving! If you have a Level 1 or higher in scuba diving, a trip to Tahiti is the perfect opportunity to discover the unique flora and fauna that inhabit Polynesian waters. You will have the pleasure of diving at exclusive sites that are rarely visited by the diving centres in Punaauia, so you will always be on your own and can enjoy the wealth of marine life in peace and quiet!

The sites, located between Paea and Papara, are very beautiful drop-offs, sometimes vertiginous and very rich in flora and fauna. You will see plenty of sea turtles and various reef fish, and it is sometimes possible to spot white-tip sharks, sleeper sharks and leopard rays.
