5.00I was impressed from start to finish. Prompt in picking me up, explained the entire process, knowledgeable and put us all at ease. The helmet was easy to wear and the guide was with us the entire time. Took pics of us individually which we were able to purchase. I would highly recommend!

5.00Best experience we had. Better than snorkeling. The crew was very accommodating and friendly. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. Not to be missed when in Bora Bora.
Travelling alone

5.00Because I travel alone (it takes at least two people to set off) so I took part in this event with the European couple and their grandchildren. The guide was funny, the European couple who joined the group was also interesting, the process experience was good, I saw the tricolour sea, the boat broke down on the way, we chatted for a long time while waiting, little episodes made the trip even more interesting Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Fish up close and personal

5.00This was a godsend for my husband who can’t swim without his glasses. We’ve tried prescription facemasks, but it’s just not his jam. They do a great job in getting you into the water safely and taking you to an area with lots of fish and a friendly ray.
Anyone can do this. ...

5.00Anyone can do this. Even non-swimmers. Yes, the fish are real. There are a lot of fish with many different kinds. Even got to touch a sting-ray.
An experience of a lifetime

5.00We booked through the cruise ship, and the tender dropped us to the pier on Bora Bora where we were whipped away into the lagoon by speedboat. A very heavy mask is put over your head and rests on your shoulders but basically becomes weightless when you hit the bottom. You can wear your glasses so can see more. The fish were everywhere as we fed them and a ray was playing with us.

5.00This was one of the most amazing experieces I have had. Looked after by Nev, Jul,and Marama. I'm 82 and felt like a teenager underwater. The fish are spectacular with a friendly stingray that joins in the fun! Everyone should do this. The two Scuba divers with you watch over to ensure no mishaps and take amazing photos.
We had such a fun time...

5.00We had such a fun time doing the helmet dive activity. It was a great alternative to scuba diving since we're not certified for that. We saw so many varieties of fish and even got up close to a sting ray. In fact, we were able to touch it. The staff went over a safety briefing before we went in the water and were super friendly and helpful. Would recommend this activity.
Great way to see underwater in Bora Bora
