How many dive sites are there?
Moorea Blue Diving frequents about fifteen dive sites located mainly on the north coast of Moorea, this for reasons of proximity and not to lengthen the travel time to the detriment of diving. From the center, dive site access time varies from 5 to 30 minutes.
Is it possible for a non-diver to accompany someone on the boat?
For safety reasons, it is not possible to leave one or more persons unattended on the boat during the immersion time.
