Diving day

Diving day - What the wreck-and-reef stops can look like

1.Diving day

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 45 reviews · from $264Our pick

Scuba day in Tahiti with 2 underwater stops, pickup from Marina Taina, small group, wrecks, turtles, and expert guides. 4 hours.

“Eleuthera was willing to pick me up from nearby resort and transport me back as part of the price. Dives were interesting sites with plenty to offer for beginners to "experienced" divers. Very much a "family" feel for the operators and the shop itself. Quite friendly and helpful. Sites are so close that the interval between dives allow return to the marina for drinks, shower, etc. which also means if you wish only 1 dive, it's easy to accommodate. I found it a very affordable and friendly experience.”
