Diving
The
diving here in rarotonga is
easy diving. Short boat rides
from 2 min up to max. 20 min
if we go to the west. Visibility
is usual 20-30m. We anker
our boat in 12 m and do multilevel
dives (and we have an extra
person staying on the boat
while you do your dive). No
restricted dive times and
we try to get divers with
the same dive experience together
on a trip. We can't tell you
in advance which side of the
island we will dive because
it's always weather dependent
and we choose the best dive
site direct before the dive.
We dive all around the island
(3 launch sites), we have
wrecks (but well broken up),
caves, passages (south), drop
offs...etc... you might see
some reef sharks, turtles,
eagle rays, baraccudas etc.
we don't have big variety
of soft corals (some small
sponges, ghost corals, anemones)
but therefore a big range
of beautiful hard coral formations.
