Diving spots :
Our marine fauna is incredibly rich, varied and colourful.
Underwater topography is also not without interest, with impressive depths, grottoes and crevices.
One of our special features is the presence of the Distichopora coral, which creates superb yellow and violet tones on the outward slopes.
There are more than 25 recorded sites around Taha'a and Raiatea, as well as localised dive sites at two of the eight passes through the reef into the single lagoon shared by both islands.
Dive spots are 10 to 25 minutes by boat from the hotel
Reef Passes : 8
