Several sites on Moorea are suitable for novice divers, but the
fish life is varied and exciting enough to thrill the most experienced divers.
Unlike Tahiti's reefs, with their sheer drop-offs, Moorea's underwater
topography is characterized by gently sloping reefs and generally shallower
dives. Impressive shark feeding.
The Tiki:
Ocean, depth of 60-90 ft. Safe for beginners. Divers of all levels can witness a
shark feeding. The Tiki gets it name from the tiki statue that rests at the
bottom of the sea--put there by a far-sighted dive center operator.
On a calm day the visibility can exceed 200 ft.
Sting Ray world:
In the lagoon, depth 3-60 ft. Ideal for snorkeling and for encounters of white
tip sharks and eagle rays
The Rays corridor:
Perfect for beginners or refresher dives. The depth ranges from 15 to 60 ft.,
and the calm lagoon waters are alive with beautiful corals, reef fishes, eagle
rays and white tip sharks..
Taotoi:
Ocean, across from the InterContinental Beachcomber Moorea. depth 45-75ft.
The Opunohu Canyons:
Ocean, depth 54-90ft. These canyons radiate outward from the reef at 30-70 ft.
and create great diving conditions when there is no swell. Expect to see black
tip sharks, moray eels, large triggerfish, and occasional sea turtles and
Napoleon wrasses.
The Roses Garden:
Ocean, maximum depth 90-150ft. For experienced divers with very good buoyancy
control. This huge field of Montipora coral is one of the most photographed
underwater features in French Polynesia.
