Hydravion et Goelett
★★★★☆
(1,265)
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.
The Orohena carried out several missions in the islands and abroad until it was declared unfit for navigation. A bottom of 20 to 25m, offers a refuge to a rich marine fauna and flora.
