The drama of Moorea’s landscape continues

chasms, and promontories.

Fish feeding is common here so divers are often
surrounded by schools of small and large marine
life. With a lack of strong currents, Moorea is
perfect for beginners while the deeper canyons attract
the more advanced divers.
Some of the established dive sites around Moorea
include:
The
Aquarium
Lagoon dive 10–40 feet
Perfect for first-time divers. Coral gardens, schools
of small species.
