French Polynesia – Diving with sharks
French Polynesia is considered one of the most spectacular destinations for shark diving worldwide. In the clear lagoons and along the steep outer reefs, divers encounter blacktip sharks, grey sharks, lemon sharks, and even hammerheads. Particularly famous are the dive sites around Rangiroa and Fakarava, where sometimes hundreds of sharks gather at once – a natural spectacle found only here in the South Pacific.
When diving with sharks, it’s not just about the adrenaline rush but also about marveling at the elegance of these fascinating animals. Many sites are suitable for divers of all experience levels and are guided by experienced professionals who ensure safety while providing insights into the complex reef ecosystem.
Visitors to French Polynesia experience with shark diving the perfect combination of adventure, natural wonder, and a unique underwater world.
