About POLYNESIA > TAHITI

BORA - DIVING SPOTS

The most heavily populated island in Polynesia and, 15 kms away towards its little sister, are the first stop for divers from around the world looking for that special thrill.

Tahiti is the ideal place for the initial acclimatisation process, for a quick brushing-up on existing skills or the acquisition of new ones. The lagoon waters are very calm, and all the dive clubs are very accessible, as are a number of specialist underwater sports shops and one-hour film processing facilities).

Moorea is the next logical step in this first foray into polynesian waters. Make sure you experience: « le feeding ».

BORA BORA DIVING SPOTS

1 - THE LEOPARD RAYS TRENCH.

The Bora Bora lagoon, world renowned for the quality of its waters, plays host in several spots to the leopard rays. The diving site at the southern tip of the island as well as that of the Toopua Iti islet is home to this totally non-agressive species, throughout the whole year. Sometimes up to 10 individuals at any one time stage for the divers an astonishing subaquatic ballet. The white sandy bottom makes for good viewing.

2 - THE WHITE VALLEY.

This time, the site is found at the northern end of the island. Bora Bora being the home of white sand, it is not surprising to find some even on the outer reef slopes. This sandy extrusion highlights the clarity and outline of all the seascapes under observation, made up of coral porites, and attracting parrot-fish, daurades, perch, lutjans, balistes, rougets, soldier-fish, butterfly-fish, pterois... This open water spectacle is not easily forgotten. Sometimes up to three hundred barracudas, many sharks, hundreds of carrangues and for the luckler ones, dolphins, can be met in these parts.

3 - THE TUPITIPITI POINT.

The unusual aspect of this dive is the total absence of any gradually descending slope on the reef. From the time to entry, you will be confronted by an infinite blue colour where the bottom can only be assumed. A few sharks, barracudas, carrangues, parrot-fish and lutjans populate this sky-blue domain. On the walls, a multitude of purple, while and pink corals, orange, red and green-coloured sponges and yellow ( gorgones), ( at a depth of 35 metres), cover the whole chromatic spectrum and you are guaranteed a rich, highly coloured spectacle.

4 - MANTA RAYS DANCE.

A fantastic dive at a very beautiful lagoon site, which at a depth of 22m can include all divers, from raw beginner to expert. Here Manta rays circulate, either alone or in groups, throughout the year, especially in the morning. A giant barracuda may come to greet you, and you may even come accross a grey ray or a Napoleon-fish.
