The Diveasy centre offers a variety of snorkeling and scuba diving excursions, including an introductory course, a romantic honeymoon outing and certificate courses for more advanced snorkelers and divers. Also available here is Snukah, a sort of hybrid between snorkeling and scuba diving that allows guests to interact with underwater wonders while hooked up to an air regulator. This makes it possible to explore the beautiful lagoons without the need for respirators or other heavy equipment.

Guests are encouraged to call ahead in order to reserve their place on a Diveasy tour. You can be picked up at any hotel on the island, and all needed equipment is provided as part of the package. Guides are experienced, and the centre is PADI-certified.

Pure Snorkeling has the distinction of being the only eco-tour provider on the island. This means their guides have a deep knowledge of marine biology and educate guests on the underwater ecosystem as they snorkel. Also, the centre takes out small groups of no more than eight guests at a time in order to ensure a great experience and maintain a personal touch while minimising the impact on the delicate marine environment. The centre offers a variety of snorkeling tours and guests of all ages and experience levels are welcome.

Though they vary in their features and offerings, any of these Bora Bora dive centres can give you the chance to experience the beauty and mystery of the lagoons, coral reefs, and colourful tropical fish that this island has to offer.
