Bora Bora is much more than overwater bungalows. Outside the reef and in the lagoon there are dives with lemon sharks, grey reef sharks, mantas and eagle rays, in warm water with good visibility.
How the trip works
- Pick-up at the pier or your hotel and transfer by dive boat.
- First dive on the outer reef (Tapu, Tupitipiti or Toopua), with lemon and grey sharks.
- Second dive in the lagoon, often around Anau, a manta cleaning station (sightings not guaranteed).
- Back by midday.
Who it is for
Certified divers. Some outer sites have current or depth and require Advanced level. Non-certified guests can do a try dive.
What to bring
Certification card, logbook, swimwear, towel and reef-safe sunscreen. Full gear can be included.
Best time
All year. From July to November, a chance to hear or see humpback whales. Allow at least 24 hours between your last dive and your flight, especially as many visitors connect by plane to Papeete.
Good to know: in French Polynesia a medical certificate may be required for some types of diving; check with us before travelling so you arrive with the right paperwork.
Included
