About this dive site

This dive site is not a traditional scuba diving location but rather a highly accessible and protected area within the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort Thalasso Spa's lagoon, including a dedicated "lagoonarium." It offers a perfect environment for shallow water exploration directly from the overwater bungalows, requiring no complex navigation or specialized gear beyond snorkeling equipment.

Visitors can expect to encounter a variety of multicolored fish species swimming amongst charming coral patches. While not a site for large pelagic encounters, the vibrant ecosystem provides a delightful display of small reef inhabitants within the crystal-clear waters.

The best time to visit this tranquil spot is year-round, thanks to Bora Bora's consistently warm climate and the sheltered nature of the lagoon. It is primarily suitable for snorkelers and casual swimmers looking to enjoy the underwater beauty without significant depth. Divers seeking traditional scuba experiences should look for deeper sites around Bora Bora.
