A very special dive. You will be dropped off on a demonstration Pearl Farm where you will discover the several ways to conserve the clamps. Sometimes, a huge barracuda stay with us during this time. Then we move to a shallow area to discover Tahitian sculptures (Tikis) that were sunk here years ago. Very good for photos in crystal clear and shallow water. Then we go down by a slope of white sand and start the long drift dive (1.5 to 2 miles), following the natural lagoon channel. Just let the current push you and enjoy the dramatic declivity of corral walls ; be very careful to be able to see the schools of eagle rays(special briefing for that) and the white tip sharks that stay hidden in corral caves or just lying on the sand. The end is on a corral table with many corral fishes and sand fishes. A wild dive we enjoy, just because we have to spend a long time looking for the specific fauna. An incredible experience, Bathys Diving Moora's exclusive…

You can do several dives in the same area : one goes deeper to the « small rose garden », a specific kind of corral. Other goes to the big wall.

* Sharks’ Meeting dive
- Ocean dive 10 min. (distance by speed boat )
- Moorage depth : 15 meters (45 feet)

Not really a difficult dive, but it’s the deepest spot for shark feeding and divers must control their air consumption not to run out of air to fast. But this spot is very spectacular for the big lemon sharks that come to the feeding. The corral is also very nice.
* Opunohu Canyons

After the feeding, you will move to see more, and you will see that there is a lot to see. At the end of the dive, just before the safety stop, we usually stop to see pretty anemones with clown fishes. Don’t forget to keep some photos for them.
