Why dive here
With 135+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales, sperm whales, spinner dolphins and pufferfish - Temae offers some of Moorea & Tahiti's richest channel diving. Water ranges 27-29°C, warmest February, March, April.
Temae offers a relaxed dive in Moorea's lagoon, generally calm and shallow. We often see reef sharks, stingrays, and plenty of smaller reef fish here, making it a good spot for newer divers or those looking for an easy second dive. It's a gentle drift along a sandy bottom with scattered coral heads. Visibility can vary, but it's usually clear enough to enjoy the local residents.
