    The Roses on Moorea offers a drift dive over a sloping reef, where plate corals bloom like, well, roses. It's a relaxed site, good for less experienced divers looking to get comfortable with current. Expect plenty of reef fish flitting between the coral formations. We’ve seen white tip reef sharks cruising the deeper sections here too.
