While
topographically not as exciting as other places, there’s
plenty to see when you go to Tahiti. Uppermost has to be the
shark feeding trips - imagine being surrounded by up to 50 black tip
reef sharks while a dive master feeds the sharks wearing only
chain-mail gloves for protection! Sorry, no videos of that -
yet!
This video shows a typical outer reef dive: plenty of coral as it
slopes gradually off into the depths, turtles too.
You’ll likely see sharks cruising around too, from 5 ft (1.5
m) black tip up to 10 - 11 ft (3.5 m) Lemon sharks.

There is a great wreck of The Nordby lying very conveniently right next to shore on
the island of Raiatea - the depth changes rapidly so a mere
30 ft off shore and you’re in 100 ft/ 30 m water
depth. The wreck is a 3 mast sail ship lying on its side. Going inside the wreck is
cool - it’s in one piece with only the superstructure as
obstacles and there are plenty of lionfish and eels to keep you
company.

Possibly the next coolest thing we did wasn’t a dive at all:
it was a drift snorkel trip on the island of Tahaa (between Raiatea and
Bora Bora). Waves surge over the reef forcing a current of
water through a gap between two small islands that’s filled
with coral. Flying between the shallow coral heads at the
mercy of a strong current makes you feel like Luke Skywalker!
I had to include the video here, even though it’s not
technically “diving”.
