    The Aquarium in Moorea is exactly what it sounds like, a busy, shallow site perfect for newer divers or a quick second dive. You’ll find a sandy bottom dotted with coral heads, home to a friendly crowd of butterflyfish and parrotfish. It’s a gentle spot, usually with minimal current, making it ideal for practicing buoyancy or just enjoying the easy pace. We’d suggest it for an afternoon dip, especially if you’re staying nearby.
