Aquarium

Aquarium is one of those sites we always recommend to newer divers in Moorea. It’s got a lovely, gentle drift, usually, and it’s pretty shallow, which means you can really take your time. We love drifting over the sandy patches, spotting Isabel’s Hermit Crabs scuttling about, or watching Dusky Wrasses dart between the coral heads. Visibility here is often fantastic, with the sun just cutting through the water, making the Corrugated and Staghorn corals shimmer. You'll see plenty of the usual reef suspects too – Manini everywhere, groups of Blue-lined Surgeonfish, and sometimes a gang of Big-eye Trevally circling. It’s a great spot to practice buoyancy and just soak it all in. We'd suggest going in the morning; the light is often best then, and it's generally quieter before the afternoon boats arrive. It’s a genuinely relaxing dive, perfect for getting comfortable in the water or just enjoying a calm swim.
