How it works

Children dive in Moorea's lagoon, in calm water, always with an instructor. Reef fish, coral, and sometimes a turtle: there is plenty to amaze them from the very first dive.

Each child goes at their own pace: they start with a discover dive then, if they want to, move through the steps for their age, from bronze diver to Junior Open Water. When the time comes, they can carry on to the first adult level.

And the whales?

Children are welcome from age 10 on board, to watch, and from age 12 in the water if they can swim, on whale excursions. There is no child rate.

A child who doesn't want to get in the water can join the without-swimming option, on the same boat as the rest of the family.
