Ecole de Plongée de TAHITI

★★★★☆ L' Aquarium, Tahiti

Certainly the best site for beginners in Tahiti. A coral ring which is ideal for a first dive. There are also 3 wrecks lying on the sand: a Cessna (5 m) and 2 boats.

★★★★☆ La Faille St Etienne, Tahiti

Beautiful opening in the reef. A lot of verticality when arriving at the St. Etienne Drop-off. The upper part of the drop-off is very lively, with plenty of fish and turtles. A magnificent dive, especially with good visibility.

★★★★☆ La Source, Tahiti

The site owes its name to a freshwater spring emerging from the depths of the ocean. It gushes out at 5-6 meters below the surface and is easily visible due to the column of fresh water escaping from it. This is what is called a halocline. This site is well-known in Tahiti for turtle watching.

★★★★☆ La Vallée blanche, Tahiti

One of the most beautiful dive of Tahiti for its fauna. Grey sharks, white tip, black tip, lemon and sometimes even the majestic tiger shark. The dive is particularly recommended for drift diving.

★★★★☆ La Zélée, Tahiti

The Zélée site is located near the port of Papeete, where you can find the remnants of the wreck of a small gunboat scattered in several pieces. The Zélée was a French gunboat launched in 1899 and sunk in 1914 during the Battle of Papeete.

★★★★☆ La Faille d Arue

This wall starts at 5 meters, after crossing a beautiful coral plateau and then, at about 25m, you will find a beautiful cave that looks strangely like a church door.

Aqualung

★★★★☆ Papa Whisky, Tahiti

This site takes the form of a vast amphitheater created by the collapse of a portion of the underwater plateau. Divers have two exploration options, one at the southern end of the arena and the other at the northern point. The depth of the site ranges from 8 meters to 40 meters.

★★★★☆ Hydravion et Goelett

One of the few wreck sites in Polynesia. You will explore the wreckage of the Catalina PBY-5A, given by the US Navy to the RAI (Régie Aérienne Inter-insulaire, the ancestor of Air Tahiti) and flown in the Polynesian air in the 1950s.

★★★★☆ Les Roses de Matavai, Tahiti

The rose-shaped corals become visible from a depth of about thirty meters and extend over a vast area as far as the eye can see. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. The corals are remarkably beautiful, providing a very pleasant experience as you explore this immense garden that seems to stretch to infinity.

★★★★★ Plateau de Vaiare

As to the relief, this plateau has a beautiful coral garden with several sandy veins over which you’ll navigate. This plateau continues with a beautiful and long drop-off.

★★★★☆ Fausse Passe de Paea

Stunning drop-off interspersed with fissures and overhangs at the edge of a rich little pass. Probably one of the most beautiful sites in Paea. Not to be missed!

Scubapro

★★★★☆ Les 3 Pitons

The exploration of the site revolves around three peaks, with the highest points rising to minus 6 meters, minus 12 meters, and minus 20 meters. The striking contrast between the deep blue abyss and the proudly standing peaks provides beautiful perspectives.

★★★★☆ Plateau aux tortues

Located in the heart of the Fishermen’s Bay, the site presents itself as a vast disc, swept by the waves. The outer edge, steep, offers beautiful perspectives on the abyss; gorgonians and black coral find their place there.

★★★★☆ Le piton aux gorgones

The descent takes place along a drop-off, marked from 25 meters by a coral projection at the end of which stands a magnificent peak with a diameter of 15 meters.

★★★★☆ Le Tombant Saint Étienne

A dizzying and sensational vertical wall. The reef barrier slopes gently down to 5 to 6 meters and plunges into a steep wall rich in fauna and flora…
