Bora Bora: Underwater Scooter Lagoon Tour & PickupYou ride an electric underwater scooter through Bora Bora's lagoon in a dry, windowed dome for 30–35 minutes, seeing coral and fish at three meters depth without needing diving skills or getting wet. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, along with a guide explanation of what you saw. Suitable for ages 7 and up, no swimming experience required.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Bora Bora's lagoon life without learning to dive, getting wet, or spending hours on a boat tour — the scooter does the moving and the dome keeps you dry and comfortable.
Romantic Scuba Diving in Bora Bora: Black Pearl ProposalRomantic scuba diving in Bora Bora pairs a two-hour private dive in the lagoon with a certified guide, a black pearl to exchange underwater, and professional video of the entire experience. Pickup and drop-off are included, along with all SCUBA equipment, towels and bottled water. A health questionnaire is required before diving, and a 24-hour wait after international flights is mandatory.Is it for me?Two hours is enough time for the dive and the pearl moment, but leaves the rest of your day open—this works if you want the proposal or gesture without it consuming your whole afternoon. The private guide and cameraman mean the focus stays on the two of you, not on managing a group or timing around other divers.
Beginner scuba dive in Bora Bora for two with videoThe Romantic Dive is a beginner scuba experience in Bora Bora for two people with a live instructor in English or French, full equipment, hotel pickup, and a cameraman who films you both on the surface and underwater. The dive lasts around two hours. You receive a personalized video and a Polynesian pearl as a keepsake. No diving experience is required, and the instructor explains everything before you enter the water.Is it for me?Book this if you're a beginner or have never dived before and want to try it in calm, clear water with someone teaching you the whole way. The video and pearl make it feel like more than just a lesson — you're taking proof of it home.
Bora Bora Combo Diving and Snorkeling: 2-Tank Dive Plus AfternoonA full-day combo activity in Bora Bora where you scuba dive two tanks in the morning, eat lunch overlooking Matira Beach, then snorkel the lagoon in the afternoon. The operator is the only one on the island offering both activities in a single day, which means couples where one person dives and the other doesn't can stay together instead of booking separate outings. A live guide leads in English or French, and all equipment, towels, drinks and snacks are included.Is it for me?Book this if you and a partner want to dive and snorkel the same day without splitting up—one person dives while the other snorkels, then you both explore the lagoon together in the afternoon. The full-day structure and shared boat mean you stay on the same schedule instead of doing separate tours.
Scuba Diving and Snorkeling in Bora Bora: Combo Half-DayA half-day combo activity in Bora Bora that pairs one scuba dive with snorkeling at two separate spots, all in the same morning. You start with a one-tank dive (introductory if you're new to diving, or certified-level if you already have credentials), then move to two snorkeling sites to see the reef from the surface. Pickup and drop-off from your hotel are included, along with all scuba equipment, towels, bottled water and soft drinks. A guide speaks English or French.Is it for me?If you're staying in Bora Bora without a car, the included pickup from your hotel means you don't arrange transport to the dock—the boat leaves from the main pier and your guide handles the logistics of both the dive and the snorkel back-to-back, so you experience both in one seamless morning rather than booking two separate outings on different days.
Private Helmet Diving in Bora Bora: Walk the Lagoon FloorPrivate helmet diving in Bora Bora is a 2-hour activity where you walk 6 feet underwater in a specially designed helmet, breathing normally, surrounded by coral and tropical fish. A certified scuba instructor stays with you throughout. Hotel or pier pickup is included, and no swimming, diving or snorkeling experience is required.Is it for me?The activity moves at a walking pace on the ocean floor with no swimming required, so it suits anyone who wants to see underwater life without the physical demands of snorkeling or diving—families with children, older travelers, and anyone who prefers to stay dry above the neck will find the helmet does exactly that.
Up to 2 hours (1)
Bora Bora: Helmet Dive & Coral Garden Walk, No Swimming RequiredYou walk on the lagoon floor 3 meters down for 30 minutes surrounded by parrot fish, clown fish, stingrays and moray eels, breathing normally through a supplied helmet with a professional instructor at your side. No swimming or diving experience required. The whole outing takes 2.5 hours, includes hotel pickup, bottled water and souvenir photos, and leaves you with footage of yourself moving through a coral garden that most people only see in documentaries.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see the lagoon floor and reef fish up close without needing to learn to dive or hold your breath — the helmet and air supply let you walk and breathe normally while your instructor handles everything else.
