French Polynesia – Diving with sharks

French Polynesia is regarded as one of the most spectacular destinations in the world for shark divers. In the clear lagoons and along the steep outer reefs you can encounter blacktip sharks, grey sharks, lemon sharks and even hammerhead sharks. The dive sites around Rangiroa and Fakarava are particularly famous, where sometimes hundreds of sharks gather at once – a natural spectacle found only here in the South Pacific. When diving with sharks, it is not only the adrenaline rush that takes centre stage, but also the awe at the elegance of these fascinating animals. Many sites are suitable for divers of all experience levels and are led by experienced guides who ensure safety while also providing insights into the reefs' complex ecosystem. Visitors to French Polynesia experience the perfect combination of adventure, natural wonder and a unique underwater world when shark diving.
