Tahiti is not just about dream beaches and breathtaking sunsets. It’s also an incredible underwater world, a giant aquarium where colorful coral reefs, tropical fish, peaceful turtles, and majestic sharks coexist. Whether you’re an experienced diver or you’ve never put your head underwater with a regulator, trust me, here, every dive is a unique and unforgettable adventure.

So, ready to join me beneath the surface? Let’s dive in together!

Why dive in Tahiti?

If you’ve never explored the Polynesian seabed, get ready for a visual shock! The water is warm year-round (between 26 and 30°C), the visibility is often exceptional (up to 30 meters), and the marine life is absolutely amazing.

But what makes diving in Tahiti even more special is the warmth of the local instructors. Passionate and always in a good mood, they will guide you through the dive sites with a caring attitude, sharing fascinating stories about the ocean and Polynesian culture.

Here, diving isn’t just about admiring the fish. It’s about feeling the energy of the Fenua, that deep connection between the sea and the land.

My Favorite Diving Spots in Tahiti

🔹 L’Aquarium: Perfect for a first dive

If you want to start off gently, head to L’Aquarium. This calm lagoon is shallow (between 5 to 12 meters) and offers a true visual treat, accessible even for snorkeling.

🔹 Les 3 Épaves: A dive between history and adventure

Diving here is like visiting an underwater museum! Three shipwrecks rest at the bottom of the lagoon (two boats and one hydraplane). The wrecks are covered in colorful coral and are home to an abundance of marine life, making it a unique and fascinating dive spot where history and nature come together. The atmosphere is captivating, almost mystical.

🔹 La Source: A peaceful dive surrounded by turtles

It’s my favorite spot for a relaxing immersion. Here, the turtles glide with the current and come to rest on the corals, surrounded by anemones and clownfish. If you want to enjoy the spectacle in complete tranquility, this is the perfect place.

🔹 La Vallée Blanche: Thrills guaranteed!

Looking for a thrill? This is the place to be! This deep-sea spot is home to blacktip reef sharks, lemon sharks, giant trevallies, and leopard rays. The adrenaline builds with every encounter, but don’t worry—these ocean giants are fascinating and non-aggressive.

My Tips for a Top-Notch Dive:

✔️Choose a spot that matches your skill level to feel comfortable and make the most of it.
✔️ Make sure you’re well-equipped : A well-fitted mask and a comfortable wetsuit make all the difference!
