Diving around Moorea
The drama of Moorea’s landscape continues below the sea with an infinite range of canyons, 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.
