First Time Scuba Adventure (Hotel Guests)
Around all of the islands of Tahiti, dramatic views continue below the water where divers are amazed by the density of large marine life. Discover this underwater world for yourself on this beginner's scuba dive tour.
Enjoy an unforgettable introduction to scuba diving with the "Aquarium" dive, a calm, sandy lagoon known for its clear and shallow waters. With depths ranging from 20 to 30 feet, this site is ideal for first-time divers. Beneath the surface, you'll discover colorful coral formations, schools of tropical fish, and three small wrecks, including two boats and a plane, resting on bright white sand. After meeting your dive instructor, you'll receive a thorough briefing covering your equipment and what to expect underwater. Once ready, you'll begin your dive in the lagoon, reaching a maximum depth of approximately 20 feet. The area is home to a wide variety of marine life, including triggerfish, parrotfish, scissor-tail sergeantfish, sixbar wrasses, and, with some luck, graceful stingrays. This experience is kept personal and uncrowded, with attentive instruction throughout the dive. The underwater portion lasts approximately 45 minutes and is suitable for guests ages 8 to 70.
