French Polynesia - Island hopping packages

TOPDIVE operates PADI 5-star dive centers across French Polynesia, with branches placed on the most convenient islands for reaching the region's best dive sites — Tahiti, Rangiroa and Fakarava. The Fakarava center sits on the northern side of the island in the village of Rotoava, a popular meeting point for divers, while sister operations open up Rangiroa's renowned Tiputa pass and 12 dive sites along Tahiti's west and east coasts.

Courses, dives and who it suits

The Fakarava team brings together 3 PADI Instructors and offers PADI Scuba Diving, PADI Freediving, PADI Snorkelling and Conservation programmes, with Enriched air (Nitrox) available for divers wanting longer bottom time. An onsite training pool and house reef make it well suited to learners and those building confidence close to shore.

Divers can expect encounters with sharks, whales, turtles, and sharks and rays. The waterfront center adds a dive boat, retail shop, equipment rental, warm-water showers and air conditioning, with staff speaking English, French and Bulgarian.
