Travel to the heart of French Polynesia on this seven-day dive adventure on Tahiti Island, renowned for its sparkling lagoons and jagged volcanic peaks. Divers will stay at a luxury resort near Papeete, conveniently just minutes away from the international airport, with both lagoon and ocean dives included.
Tropical sunshine and warm water mean you can easily dive here year-round, but May through October are Tahiti’s dry season. However, the rainy season of November through April brings increased plankton, and with it more chances of spotting sharks and large pelagic species.
Underwater amphitheatres, wrecks and sun drenched reef dives offer beautiful and surprising dives for all abilities, with ample opportunity to spot sharks, leopard rays, turtles and colourful sea fans. It’s ideal for enthusiastic travellers seeking a quintessential tropical locale, matched with world-class diving.
From August through to October, humpback whales visit the region, and in-water encounters are possible between the islands of Tahiti and Moorea.
