Why dive here
With 140+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, eagle rays, humpback whales, manta rays and mobula rays (devil rays) - Les Roses offers some of Bora Bora's richest diving. Water ranges 27-29°C, warmest February, March, April.
We love Les Roses for its sheer, undeniable elegance. It’s not about huge pelagics here, though a curious long-beaked dolphin might cruise by if you’re lucky. This site is about the small, intricate details, the kind that make you slow down and actually look. You’ll find these incredibly delicate coral formations that really do resemble blooming roses, stretching out in layers. We’ve spent whole dives just hovering, picking out brilliant red hawkfish perched on a coral head, or watching blue-lined tangs drift past. The colours are subtle, but rich – think deep blues and muted oranges from the orange-lined triggerfish. For macro lovers, it’s a dream. Keep an eye out for hardshell shrimp tucked away, and you might even spot a cowry snail slowly making its way across the reef. It’s a gentle dive, generally calm, so it’s perfect for those newer to diving or anyone wanting a relaxed, visually rich experience without strong currents. We’d suggest going in the morning; the light catches the corals beautifully then.
