Why dive here
With 135+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales, sperm whales, spinner dolphins and pufferfish - The Spring offers some of Moorea & Tahiti's richest diving. Water ranges 27-29°C, warmest February, March, April.
The Spring is a good spot for a drift dive along the Moorea reef wall. You'll often see grey reef sharks patrolling the drop-off, along with a decent variety of smaller reef fish moving with the current. It’s a pretty straightforward dive, best suited for those comfortable with mild to moderate drift conditions. Keep an eye out for schooling jacks in the blue.
