Ecole de plongée de Tahiti - Moorea & Tahiti
Ecole de plongée de Tahiti splits its operations between Tahiti and Moorea, making them a solid choice if your itinerary has you island-hopping. We’ve found their team to be particularly good with new divers, offering a patient approach for those just getting comfortable in the water. Out on the dives, especially around Moorea’s Opunohu Bay, you’re likely to encounter lemon sharks patrolling the sand, and the reef patches often have reef sharks and stingrays cruising past. They stick to smaller groups, which is always a plus, and we appreciate that they’re upfront about conditions, especially during the wetter months when visibility can dip.
