Overview

The Bora Bora Aqua Safari Introductory Helmet Dive is a shared underwater walk that takes place in the lagoon of Bora Bora, French Polynesia. The tour lasts about two hours, including 30 minutes spent walking underwater at a depth of approximately three meters in a coral garden surrounded by a reef. Participants wear special helmets that allow them to breathe normally while walking on the sandy bottom. No swimming, snorkeling, or scuba diving experience is required. A professional scuba diving instructor provides a safety briefing before the dive and guides participants throughout the underwater walk. The clear lagoon water offers good visibility to observe tropical fish such as parrot fish, butterfly fish, clown fish, moray eels, and stingrays. The tour includes bottled water, a towel, snorkeling equipment, and air-conditioned transport to and from the dive site.

Itinerary

1

Your adventure starts with a speedboat pickup at your hotel pontoon or at the Vaitape pier, in front of the Tourism Office. As you cruise across the lagoon, enjoy the views of Bora Bora's iconic mountain before arriving at the dive site where the famous yellow helmets are waiting. Your certified scuba diving instructor will walk you through a safety briefing, explaining what to expect and how to make the most of your 30-minute underwater walk. No swimming, scuba diving, or snorkeling experience needed. At 6 feet (3 meters) deep, the helmet becomes surprisingly light and you are free to explore the coral garden at your own pace, surrounded by parrot fish, butterfly fish, clown fish, moray eels, stingrays, and more. Keep an eye out for Coco Chanel, a resident stingray and local celebrity who may just photobomb your souvenir photos. After 30 unforgettable minutes underwater, board the speedboat back to your pickup point. Whether you are a first-timer or an experienced diver, the helmet dive in Bora Bora is an experience like no other.
