Seaplane & Shooner
One of the only wreck dive in Polynesia. You'll go explore the Catalina PBY-5A wreck, which is now lying on a 20 meters depth bottom. A few meters from there, you'll discover the Orohena wreck, a woodeen 45 meter long schooner, on a 20 to 25 meter bottom depth, which offers a great shelter to a rich marine life.

Underwater Spring
Some say that this is the most beautiful dive site on Tahiti's west coast: Coral reefs, turtles, chevron barracudas, eagle rays, white tip reef sharks, humphead moari wrasse and an underwater spring will make you impatient to jump in the water !
You'll also be able to observe all the surfers riding the wave of Sapinus, next to the dive site.

To do preferably in the morning.
