We recommend you, to this day, more than 20 different sites on Raiatea and Tahaa, where we regularly dive. An exceptional diversity of diving spots is what makes our twin islands so attractive, and we make the most of this variety for you. Underwater encounters are often amazing.
CLast year we dove with whales from august to November, and with manta rays from april to august. Throughout the year, lemon sharks, dogtooth tunas, marlins and schools of spotted eagle rays can be seen.

The roses : A steep and giddy slope in the blue leading to a huge bed of coral roses. A sight to see, for level 2 and over. Depth from 106 to 152 ft. Tunas, rays and sharks come up from the deep to observe you.
The funnels of Tetuatiare : Uncommon are such sites offering, on an impressive wall, these funnels decorated with yellow, purple and blue coral. Divers enter the pipes and come out a little higher. Take care not to upset the residents of these small tunnels, sharks, jacks, snappers… All level, depth 0 to 88ft.
Teavapiti Pass : Across this pass always packed with fish, divers can observe blacktip, silvertip and grey reef sharks, spotted eagle rays, schools of bluefin jacks, kingfishes, barracudas, humphead wrasses, and sometimes tunas or manta rays. All level, depth from 0 to 88ft.
The rairas : The Polynesian name for grey reef shark. The name of this spot is justified by the presence of fine examples of the species, whose inquisitiveness will lead the diver to very close encounters indeed ! All level, depth from 0 to 76 ft.
Le Nordby : Visit the wreck of this impressive 200ft three masted vessel sunk on the 22nd of august 1900. Hull and rigging remain intact, two of the masts are still standing. Easy access in and out, through what used to be wooden decks. Populated by surgeon fish, pennant coral fish, devil fish, stone fish, bighead jacks, angel fish, shrimps, black coral, giant clams, colorful sponge and plenty of nudibranchs, with 15 sub-species listed to this day. All level dive, depth from 0 to 88ft. Don’t miss the night dive !
Ceran Pass : A spectacularly rich pass, due to continuous current flows. An amazing profusion of fish, schools of barracudas, surgeonfishes, bluefin and golden jacks, not to mention rays, sharks, humphead wrasses haunting a stunning rocky peak covered with yellow coral. From level 2, depth from 106 to 152 ft.
The octopus’ hole : We are very proud of this spot. The origin of the expansion of the Polynesian triangle is said to be situated in Raiatea. And this site, according to the legend, was the starting point of the Polynesian people in their journey to other islands. Access to this cave is in the lagoon, at a depth of 73 ft, where you will be greeted by stalactite jaws. Not for tender hearts!
Tao-tao : This barrier reef ocean spot, distant from Tahaa’s passes, boasts an extremely clear water, giving a 40 to 50 meter field of vision. Tao-Tao is still a wild life site, unspoiled by fishing activities. Huge snappers, unicorn fishes, humphead wrasses, kingfishes and barracudas crowd the site on a background of magnificent corals. We experienced great encounters with big lemon sharks, tunas and marlins. An all level dive, depth from 0 to 152 ft.
Tupitipiti : We regularly organize dives in the southern part of Bora Bora’s barrier reef. You will discover a vertiginous wall decorated with gorgonians - a species seldom seen in French Polynesia - and swarming with fish : schools of golden and bluefin jacks, spotted eagle rays, sharks…
