Dive Tahiti: live aboard dive boats, scuba diving in French Polynesia, Tahiti Aggressor, Tuamotu and Marquesas Islands scuba diving and live aboard dive boats
Moorea, the perfect south sea island, is 10 minutes by air or 30 minutes by luxury catamaran from Papeete. Moorea is probably best known for its fish and shark feeding. During feeding time, the marine life is so dense that the view of your dive guide can become somewhat obscured! Dive sites include The Blue Island, Napoleon Plateau offering large 80lb Napoleon fish plus sharks, the Canyon, and Shark Dining Room where you'll be pleased to know that we are not on the menu - but the shark and eel feeding is quite exciting. Bora Bora, the jewel of the Pacific, is a central emerald island surrounded by a myriad of islets. The colours of the lagoon vary from pale turquoise to deepest cobalt, and the range of depth almost assures you of sighting the gentle manta rays. The reefs are home to a great deal of smaller lagoon dwelling species, and locals can introduce you to the 4.5 foot barracuda named Romeo. Raiatea-Tahaa, the two sister islands,
attract large schools of pelagic fish, Dog-toothed Tuna, Huahine, the garden island, is where Pacific Blue Adventure can take you to see Avafehia Pass, Coral City notable for formations rising 10 foot off the bottom and the 15lb red snapper, Yellow Valley rich in multi-coloured fish, the aquarium for beginners and the dive school. At Huahine you can see giant Jewfish or Black Sea Bass weighing in at 400lbs. Rangiroa is the place where drift diving or shooting the pass can be done any day. The steady 5 knot current offers an exhilarating dive and the regular scheduled dives are run on a 12 hour cycle so as to get the slack water. This cycle advances 45 minutes each day. Rangiroa dive sites include Napoleon Manta Point, Motu Fara Pass, Mahuta, The Avatoru, Tiputa Aquariums and Tiputa Shark Cave. Tikehau was declared to contain the most fish by Jacques Cousteau in 1987. Raie Manta Club - Tikehau, can show you those along with providing night diving, photo and video services. Manihi, famous for its black pearls, has an array of sites offering frequent encounters with Manta Rays, drift dives or the Pass Entrance. 'Grouper City' has a notable aggregation of marbled grouper.
