Why dive here
With 140+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, eagle rays, humpback whales, manta rays and mobula rays (devil rays) - Tao-tao offers some of Bora Bora's richest diving. Water ranges 27-29°C, warmest February, March, April.
Tao-tao in Bora Bora often delivers on the manta ray front. We’ve had some cracking encounters here, particularly with the oceanic mantas gliding through. They come close, especially if you find a spot to settle and let them approach. Beyond the big stuff, it's worth taking your time to scan the sand. We've spotted cowfish and a few interesting cone shells, like the leopard and frigid cones, tucked away. It's a relaxed drift, generally, making it a good pick for newer divers looking for that big animal thrill without too much exertion.
