Destination: Tahiti
by Staff
Average Rating
  Tahiti is the heart and soul of FRENCH POLYNESIA. It is the largest island and capital of the region. Home of Faa International Airport, this key island serves as the gateway to all outer islands.
Tahiti offers a rich and colorful underwater landscape, not well known and yet spectacular, and also a large diversity of diving sites (fun wrecks, vertiginous walls and beautiful gardens of corals). It is also the best place to master the different levels of the CMAS and PADI training. The peninsula (south of Tahiti) divides the savage spirit between the land and the underwater world ''to discover''. Come and meet our turtles, our dolphins, our giant wrasses and the humback whales (from July to October).
