Activity description
Do you have an Open Water Diver certification or equivalent in scuba diving? Make the most of Tikehau Atoll's rich waters with a double tank dive in the Tikehau Pass!
A Polynesian atoll renowned for the diversity of its underwater fauna, Tikehau is a must for certified divers in Polynesia. A double tank dive in the Tikehau Pass is the most extraordinary experience, as the atoll's one and only pass is home to an exceptional number of fish (tuna, barracuda, eagle rays, manta rays, etc.), as well as impressive sharks (hammerheads, grey sharks, tiger sharks, etc.). Diving alongside a dive master, you will go to a depth of 20 metres, where most of the underwater life in the Tikehau Pass is concentrated!
The experience will also take you to the heart of the lagoon, to the site of the former pearl farm, which is now a cleaning station for manta rays: you will enjoy a snorkelling session before or after your 2 dives for a chance to swim with the manta rays in Tikehau lagoon! In total, 5 hours of exploration diving in the Tikehau Pass and snorkelling in the lagoon await you, allowing you to discover an exceptional underwater biodiversity.
So if you have passed your Level 1 or equivalent certification, such as the PADI Open Water Diver, don't hesitate to take part in this double tank dive in the Tikehau Pass, one of French Polynesia's flagship dive sites!
