Diving Experience on Moorea
Moorea, the sister island to Tahiti is a land of history and legends. Its many white sand beaches, the wide variety of its coral seabed and the richness of its underwater life make Moorea a very special destination. Moorea has an international reputation for its impressive shark-feeding sessions. It is also a special place for humpback whales.
