    Neat experience with friendly tour guides. Very safe and easy without any experience. 10 feet under water without diving.

    Thank you for your kind feedback, which we will be sure to share with our team. This activity, unique to Bora Bora, allows everyone, even non-swimmers, to enjoy the riches of our beautiful lagoon. Your satisfaction is our greatest reward. We look forward to seeing you again in Bora Bora.

    The underwater scooter excursion is rare. It allows you to stay dry from the shoulders up while being submerged. You can breathe normally while being ten feet below the surface. There are two people in each scooter. Grab the steering wheel, press the foot pedal, and you're off. Seeing the creatures below is amazing!

    It was a one of the kind experience! We are not scuba certified but this was perfect. We saw everything and my boys were in awe.

    Ia Orana, Thank you for sharing! Scuba diving really is a unique experience, especially when it's a first. We are delighted to hear that you had a good time. Best, The Bora Ocean Adventures team

    Fantastic.

    The best experience we had in Bora Bora. A must event to do while you are here. The guides were very professional, patient, safe and understanding as my wife does not know how to swim. When we return to Bora Bora this will be the first tour we sign up for. Thank you so much Paul

    Ia Orana Paul, Making sure our guests feel safe to enjoy their experience is our top priority, so we are glad to know everything went well. We are convinced you will soon become experienced divers! See you on your next trip. The Bora Ocean Adventures team

    This was such a fun little experience

    The aqua scooter is very safe and comfortable. You will feel pressure in your ears similar as to flying initially and returning to the surface, but that is the extent of any challenge. The rest is led by seasoned divers who help you feed fish, see the sea life and navigate the waters. On our excursion, the second diver GoProed our travel and made it available to us on a USB instantly after the ride for a nominal fee. Get the videos and photos; you support the staff and will have fun images to share with friends afterwards.
