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.

This is my first. A little scary at the beginning, but great experience at the end. Totally worth it. The instructor is extremely assuring and helpful.
It was amazing! So exciting to be able to get to scuba dive for the 1st time in such an amazing place. Plus the whole staff was so nice. Very easy to figure out where to meet the driver and the instructions were simple. Really helped and made us feel comfortable
Absolutely incredible experience! Would highly recommend. This is our first time diving and the experience was amazing
The crew was very energetic and helpful. Louie is the actual best! As someone who should probably be an adaptive diver, I relied on Louie for some assistance. He was so happy and excited to help it put me at ease. I am very thankful he was part of the crew. Because of him I was able to complete my first dive!
Relatively disappointed. Although the dive staff was great- the location was almost completely barren of sea life and fauna. After speaking with other guests there are places to guy that live up to Bora Bora’s beauty. This location was 100% not the place. At all.
Great first dive experience! Staff very friendly and accommodating! Water was beautiful and clear! Can’t wait to do this again

Congratulations for your Introductory dive !
Our team is waiting for you to discover new diving sites together 🙂
Mauruuru for your review !
Wonderful experience. Great introduction to scuba diving. Stress-free and very enjoyable. Remi was a great instructor very patient with my wife as she was a little anxious about it, but he spent time with her and made her feel comfortable.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you very much James !
Anxiety is 100% normal for the first time :-)
We are glad your wife enjoyed her introductory dive with Remy 👌
Great intro scuba experience! It was my first time and the 2 instructors made everything a breeze. They me up from my resort right on time and explained everything clearly while also keeping things fun. I saw tons of vibrant fish, coral, clams and also 2 leopard eagle rays. Went down about 20 feet and it was such a great experience in Bora Bora. Super fun experience and hope to get back to scuba diving again soon. 🤿

You are now ready to start your diving course to discover the underwater life all around the world 🏝️☀️
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!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Many thanks Mimi !
It is now recommended to not stop to scuba dive 🤗
"Relaxed and happy divers" is our goal !
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

Thanks a lot for your review !
Our team is really happy to share our passion & underwaterworld 😉
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!

Mauruuru roa Ashley for your very nice review !
You are right manta rays are mainly seen in the morning 🤩 we are very lucky in Bora Bora !
They took great care of me to make sure I had a safe and fun experience. The reefs and sea life at Bora Bora are a wonderful experience.

Mauruuru ! You are now ready for the next discovery dives or the diving course !
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.

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.

Mauruuru roa Tim for your review !
Hope you will come back soon
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 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.
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.

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

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

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 ;-)
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.
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.
Very good intro. Knowledgeable and patient guide. Got to see a turtle, ray, starfish and lots of other fish.
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
Very nice and helpful. They have very good knowledge they also can certified diving license if you are interesting.
