You
can dive Rarotonga with us:
a PADI 5 Star Dive Centre,
conveniently located on the
stunning marine reserve of
Aroa beach which is one of
the best spots on the island
to go for snorkelling or even
for diving. (perfect place
for a beginner dive because
it is really shallow)
We
offer guided dives for all
levels, from wrecks to passages,
drop off's, night dives and
much more.
Our
friendly multilingual staff
can cater for total beginners
to the highly experienced
in the crystal clear warm
water of the south pacific.
We
are open 7 days a week from
8am to 5pm. The Dive Centre
provides daily introduction
lagoon and boat dives, with
light refreshments served
after every treasured water
experience. Also available
are group discounts, dive
packages that will also include
accommodation if needed, complimentary
pick up/drop off from your
resort, also a variety of
courses from open water to
speciality.
On
site, you'll find our well
stocked dive shop will cater
to all your scuba and snorkelling
needs for an unforgettable
Cook Island experience. If
you would like to see some
little movies about the diving
and the lagoon dive feel free
to have a look at Youtube.

Diving
The
diving here in Rarotonga is
easy diving. Short boat rides
from 2 min up to max. 20 min
which is very convenient because
you don't have travel for
hours to your dive site.
The
visibility range is usual
20-30m - depending on weather
conditions. We anchor/moor
our boat in 12 m and do multilevel
dives (and we have always
an boat captain staying on
the boat while you do your
dive! not standard here on
the island). No unnecessary
restricted dive times for
your convenience and we try
to get divers with the same
dive experience together on
a trip.
Unfortunately
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. Our shop
dives all around the island
(3 launch sites), we have
wrecks (but well broken up),
caves, passages (south), drop
offs...etc...
What you might see: some reef
sharks, turtles, eagle rays,
barracudas etc. What we don't
have is a big variety of soft
corals (some small sponges,
ghost corals, anemones) because
we have a drop off up to 4500meters
but therefore a big range
of beautiful hard coral formations.
