Life begins in the water: get back to basics with your first dive in Tahiti! The clear, temperate waters (between 23 and 26°C all year round) of French Polynesia offer the ideal environment for you to embark on your adventure.
Your first dive in the Tahitian lagoon will take place under the watchful eye of a certified instructor who will guide your every stroke of the fins. For around 30 minutes of immersion, you will begin to apply the basic techniques of scuba diving in front of your new spectators, tropical fish and brightly coloured coral.
The dive site will be chosen according to the weather conditions: for example, you can dive at the Aquarium site, ideal for a first dive in shallow water. It is located in a maze of coral where you can observe the typical fauna of the lagoons (damselfish, parrotfish, clownfish, surgeonfish, etc.) and where the wreck of a Cessna 172 has been relocated, on a seabed of 6 to 10 metres!
Accessible to all, this first dive in Tahiti is the prerequisite to enrol in the first diving certification level. But if you are not interested in taking scuba diving training and you have already had your first dive, don't hesitate to opt for the Discovery of Scuba Diving in Tahiti experience!
