Images by Steve Dickinson Surround yourself in an ocean of beauty while diving in The Islands of Tahiti. Here you’ll dive in the presence of deep-sea giants such as sharks, rays, turtles and dolphins. Our waters are teeming with life where each dive brings a new treasure to uncover and a new story for you to share. DIVING.TAHITITOURISME.COM
t r a v e l DIVING THE ISLANDS OF TAHITI Size isn't everything but it sure is impressive! The first thing that anyone talks about after diving in The Islands of Tahiti, is the presence of sharks, rays, and cetaceans (whales and dolphins). There are no less than twenty species of sharks. There are rays in abundance, especially the manta rays, which is an unforgettable sight underwater. As early as 2002, The Islands of Tahiti issued a decree declaring its territorial waters as a (sanctuary for whales and marine mammals). A choice which has borne fruit, since each year, from July to November, dozens of humpback whales migrate to The Islands of Tahiti ‘s waters to give birth. Not to mention the dolphins, such as in Rangiroa, where a colony of bottlenose dolphins, familiar with divers and come to meet them daily. But it would not be fair to limit this description to the presence of these giants of the sea, because the other characteristic of the regions water is the diversity and profusion of life that they shelter, both in the open sea (tunas, barracudas, kingfish...) and on the reefs (turtles, parrotfish, grouper, angelfish, butterfly fish, perch, and so many others). There are over 50 diving centres found in The Islands of Tahiti, and an underwater landscape as large as Europe where each island reveals underwater its own unique identity. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced diver, there is a dive experience exactly right for you. TAHITI Tahiti, (the main island) with its variable underwater landscape, is accessible for all levels. Most dives take place on drop-offs that are ideal for observing the fauna, around which gravitate a multitude of fish of all species, including turtles or Honu in Tahitian, the source of many Tahitian legends. Our top four: Seaplane and the Schooner - Lagoon, 6-21m (20ft) One dive, two wrecks! These two wrecks were sunk intentionally: the Catalina type seaplane in 1962 and the schooner, a former bomb disposal unit in 1976. Many species have taken up residence here! The Marado - Ocean, 18-43m (60-40ft) It’s a drop off with an amazing relief makes it one of the most beautiful sites of Tahiti Iti and accessible to all. Covered with gorgonian fans from 20m (65ft) deep. The White Valley - Ocean, 18m (59ft) Incredible dive with geological relief and white sandy bottom that offers a remarkable observation, and a high concentration of sharks. THE Turtle Plate - Ocean, 18m (59ft) Situated in Punaauia, numerous turtles swimming in their natural environment. Observe them quietly, it is magic! ADVENTUREMAGAZINE.CO.NZ//85
