This was a great refresher dive for my wife and I. We are both PADI certified but she had some confidence issues during our last trip to Roatan a few years ago. The instructor was excellent and extremely patient with her. She felt comfortable after the dive and we got some great pictures of a Manta Ray swimming right over them.

Awesome diving experience in Bora Bora!

Mimi_N, Apr 2026
Louie, Remi, and Mana were the best! Super fun experience and saw lots of cool, cute fish in Bora Bora! Everyone on board made me feel really comfortable after not diving for years. 10/10 recommend!

First time divers. Louie was phenomenal. I became very anxious in the water and his zen personality set me at ease. If I we could give him 10 stars we would!! The whole experience was amazing

Great dive!

Ashley_W, Jan 2026
What a great dive with Bora Nora dive center! They picked us up right at our hotel dock and took us out to see beautiful coral and wildlife! I’d suggest an early AM dive as that’s when they say they see the manta rays (we went in the afternoon and missed them sadly). We felt safe and the equipment was top notch!!! Don’t hesitate to book!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Mauruuru roa Ashley for your very nice review ! You are right manta rays are mainly seen in the morning đŸ€© we are very lucky in Bora Bora !

Great introduction to scuba

Gary_R, Nov 2025

Timothy_C, Oct 2025
We loved our dive. We have done a few other dives but this one was the best. The water was super clear and the reef was beautiful and full of fish. We even saw a bat ray. The guides were super helpful and made the dive experience very comfortable and easy.

Yibin_L, Sep 2025
It was raining in the beginning but when we reached the spot the water was still warm and clear. The guide was patient and helped us with video recording as well, good experience.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Scuba diving is the best activity when it's raining. Lucky we are in Bora Bora ! Thanks for your review :-)

Great instructor Rude front desk .

christophe_c, Sep 2025
Great dive. The instructor was amazing. Shame one of the girl at the registration desk is quite rude. Dampened the end of the experience.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thanks for your review. We don't understand the "quite rude" because we joke around together ! We are sorry if we made something wrong.

Best intro diving experience

Jennifer_M, Sep 2025
I love this diving company. Manu, our guide is super exceptional in direction, making us feel safe and confident with the dive, checked on us constantly and showed us some amazing sea life including rays and unique fish. I highly recommend this company. Truly so happy we did our first dive with them.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thanks thanks thanks Jennifer ! Share our passion safely is a priority in scuba diving.

Do your first dive in Bora Bora!

Betty_K, Sep 2025
Fantastic first dive experience! Felt very safe and cared for by a fun group of instructors. It was a small group of 6 and it was 2 people to 1 instructor doing the dive

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thanks for your message ! A wonderful first experience is very important, we do our best for it :-)

Awesome experience

Ron_D, Aug 2025
We did the intro dive with Manu and it was amazing. We had no experience and he was so patient to explain everything and we had a great dive and saw a lot of fish. The entire team was wonderful.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Mauruuru roa Ron ! You are now ready for the next step & discover more ;-)

Don’t miss out!

Cyndie_V, Jul 2025
This experience was beyond our expectations. Amelie( not sure how to spell it) took great care of us, he was an exceptional host and master diver guide. We are so appreciative and thankful that we chose this tour over others. When in Bora Bora, you can’t go wrong! It was a 10/10 and the giant mantas made it extra special, one we will never forget.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks a lot Cyndie ! Your wonderful guide is Amaury :-) Hope you will dive again before you leave Bora Bora !

Family of 4

Murray_G, Jun 2025
Very, Very professional company, all the gear is new, high quality clean and ready to go. Modern boats (built 2024). The most professional dive centre I have seen. The company was fantastic to deal with, would definitely use them again. Instructors are excellent. Very safe caring experience for family of 4 adults.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you very much for your very nice review ! It is always pleasant & safe to dive with good equipment & professionnal instructors :-)

Great place for a first dive.

Tony, May 2025
Staff were very professional and made sure I was 100% comfortable with my first dive. After some training they took me a long with another newbie and guided us along for a 30 minute dive. Had a little learning curve getting my ears to pop, but was fine once I figured it out .

Response from Host, May 2025

We're delighted that you've enjoyed your first underwater experience with our team! We hope to see you again with your diver certification :-)

Great way to go. Patient and helpful.

Lauri_M, Apr 2025
The dive instructors took just me and my husband out. We loved it seeing all the fish under water. It took me a little longer but the instructor was so patient and would hold my hand when I was having difficulty.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thanks a lot Lauri for your message. Our team is always happy to share our passion and be attentive to each diver. Hope you will be back to Bora Bora soon ;-)

Great experience for first time divers

Ron_J, Feb 2025
Amazing experience for first time divers, like us. Instructor was incredibly patient in helping us with our nervousness (in the beginning) which ended up being a great experience diving. Would highly recommend and Bora Bora is the perfect locale to try it.

Best experience ever!

Lauri_M, Jan 2025
Such a great experience. The staff were wonderful and the dives were fabulous. First time and I loved it.

Guides picked us up on time. Instructions were clear. No words to explain the experience. Just amazing. My kids enjoyed it a lot.

Wonderful intro to diving

Jeff_M, Dec 2024
Very good intro. Knowledgeable and patient guide. Got to see a turtle, ray, starfish and lots of other fish.

1st time diving

Rachel_M, Dec 2024
Our instructor was great. He explained everything and made us feel at ease. He took his time with us and made sure we were safe and okay during our dive. This is a great company. I seen the biggest eel. My husband and I had a great time and well definitely do it again

Alberto_Z, Nov 2024
Simply amazing. Thank you to JP and the team for an incredible experience. We saw and learnt so much. Alberto

Outstanding first dive

Emily_A, Sep 2024
Great experience! I was so scared before getting in the water that I told our dive leader (Pascal) that I would need to cry a little beforehand. He said “that’s fine, I’ll give you my shoulder!” I cried a little and then we set off! He was very kind and caring and checked in with me constantly to see how I was doing. Could not have asked for a better first-ever scuba dive! Very much appreciated this team.

Absolutely stunning!

DEBORAH_M, Sep 2024
The staff are all so kind, knowledgeable and helpful. One of the best experiences of my life. The location is the best!

Egle_B, Jun 2024
One of the best experiences ever! At the beginning I was a little bit scared as it was my 1st time but instructor Amaury gave me confidence and safety feeling so I could enjoy to be down in the water. We saw rays and lots of fishes. Amaury helped me with underwater video as well. Very professional. Highly recommended. Don’t think twice and booked it đŸ‘ŒđŸ»

A great new experience!!

Michael_G, May 2024
Had an amazing time! The crew were all very helpful and supportive. My wife was a little uneasy at first and they really helped her feel comfortable to fully dive. We got to see so much different marine life. An amazing experience! If you've never done a dive before I would highly recommend this!!

First dive in over 15 years!

Arvid_C, Apr 2024
I had not been scuba diving for over 15 years. Yet, the instructors made me feel very comfortable and made sure I could enjoy the beautiful underwater world of Bora Bora. They were also super flexible by accommodating a last minute change. I wasn’t feeling well the day of the dive, so they kindly let me reschedule to the following day. Highly recommended!

Wonderful.

Towfiq_A, Mar 2024
This was an amazing tour. I really enjoyed. Everyone was kind and respectful. Thank you for everything!
