    With only a mask, fins and a snorkel you can discover the wonderful underwater world of the islands. Most fishes and other marine life are found between 1 and 3 meters deep. Just don't touch the coral reefs.

    You can rent a jet ski for 2 or 3 hours. Guides will take you around the island inside the lagoon. You will stop on a motu, snorkel in beautiful coral gardens, feed the fish, and if you are lucky dive with the sharks and stingrays.

    Make a boat trip around the island in a typical outrigger canoe. Most of the time you will do some snorkeling in the coral garden, visit a motu for some picnic and relaxing on the white sand beach, and search for the graceful manta ray. When you are lucky, you can enjoy some typical Tahitian songs played on the ukelele.

    The clear tropical waters of French Polynesia are ideal for year-round diving. You can choose between diving in the lagoons, passes and outer coral reefs. The underwater scenery is different from island to island, but magnificent on every spot. The average water temperature is 29°C (85°F) during the summer months of November to March and 25°C (79°F) during the winter months of April to October. Underwater visibility is normally good up to distances of 30 meters (100 feet).
