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

5.00Marama, Elise & Neven were all exceptional. They put you at ease right away and made you feel that you were in good hands. Once down on the bottom, it was the most exhilarating experience being surrounded by all the varieties of fish as they are eating from the bag in your hand that was the provided by the staff. There was also a sting Ray that was trained by one of the divers which was pretty cool. I would definitely recommend going on this tour, you won't be disappointed.

5.00Wonderful experience and Elise was a wonderful and very professional guide. A boat took me and other participants from hotel pier and sailed to the centre of the lagoon where we met an another boat with Luise and the equipment. I never did scuba diving before and was a bit worried but all went very, very smoothly. You walk for 30 minute on sea floor, 4m deep, with corals and many, many colourful fishes. It seems a Walt Disney cartoon but it is real. No need for special footwear, you should walk barefoot. You need only a swimsuit. But you may leave your personal belongings in the boat while you are under the sea. Two hours afterwards I was back in my hotel. It was worth the money. Thanks Elise
Fantastic underwater experience0

5.00Booking c is easy. They are very responsive, tell you what to expect for pickup and during your dive. Got picked up promptly at the St Gegis dock and zipped to the dive boat. English is not an issue. Very good safety briefing. Entry into and exit from the water is easy. The ladder extends quite far into the water. Lots of colorful fish, the pet ray, all very cool. You get a mesh pouch with an over ripe banana in it. Shake the bag, little chunks of banana come out and you are SWARMED with fish. Once in the water all you have to do is breathe normally. No technique, no skills, no need to even know how to swim. A wonderful experience. The diver takes pics during your dive which you can review right on the boat. The entire package was $95 US which is a very good deal. Got the pics via email the next day and there were 35 I think. This is a must do experience.
Highly Recommend

5.00This helmet dive was even better than I imagined. Had so much fun with the crew (Frederick) and walking amongst the fish. I have dived before, but this was something completely new and fun. Highly recommend!!!
