Activity description

Discover one of the most beautiful diving spots in French Polynesia, Tikehau, during half-day exploration dives!

If you are a certified diver and want to dive in a Polynesian atoll, Tikehau is a destination you should not miss. Still preserved and with a very rich and diversified underwater fauna, Tikehau offers great exploration diving opportunities, especially with manta rays in the heart of its lagoon!

With a state certified dive guide to accompany up to 5 divers, you will enjoy a manta ray dive in the Tikehau lagoon in the morning, or two successive dives in the Tuheiava pass in the morning or afternoon, depending on your choice. The Tuheiava pass is an easy dive site, both inbound and outbound, and allows you to observe all kinds of fish such as barracudas or napoleons, turtles, and even impressive sharks (hammerheads, tiger sharks, grey sharks, etc.).

So if you want to discover an incredible underwater fauna in French Polynesia, don't hesitate to go to the Tuamotu archipelago to dive in Tikehau!
