Sortie snorkeling avec Fluid Tahiti

Fluid Tahiti is an established diving centre situated directly on the pontoon at Marina Taina, Punaauia. Since its founding in 2002, the centre has become a key point for divers looking to explore the diverse marine environments of Tahiti, ranging from shallow lagoon settings to the open ocean.

The centre operates with a focus on professional service and environmental awareness, providing a base for both exploration dives and formal training. Whether you are looking to complete your first certification or are an experienced diver seeking Nitrox or night diving, the facilities are designed to support a wide variety of diving styles.

The team is composed of eight professional instructors, ensuring a high level of supervision and personalized attention. The centre maintains a strict ratio of two divers per guide, which is essential for maintaining safety and control during dives in varying conditions.

Instruction is available in French, English, German, and Spanish, making it accessible for international divers. The staff is trained to manage a broad spectrum of diving needs, from introductory 'Try Scuba' sessions to professional Divemaster training.

Fluid Tahiti provides a full suite of training through SSI and CMAS/FFESSM affiliations. Beginners can start with Try Scuba, Scuba Diver, or Open Water Diver courses, with options to upgrade from previous certifications.

Advanced divers can progress through Advanced Open Water Diver, Deep Diver, and Navigation specialties. The centre also offers technical and professional training, including Nitrox, Stress & Rescue, Divemaster, and instructor-level pathways such as Monitorat and RIFAP.

The fleet consists of three vessels tailored to different group sizes and activities. The Zebubbles and the Zebullons are both capable of carrying 20 people, with the Zebullons being a semi-rigid vessel.

For smaller groups or more intimate trips, the Ze Boat is available with a capacity of 7 people. The boats are used for a range of excursions, including exploration dives, night dives, and private snorkeling trips. Nitrox is available on board for those requiring enriched air.

The shore-based facilities include a dedicated classroom and a shop area for divers. For gas preparation, the centre operates a filling room equipped with two Bauer compressors, ensuring reliable air supply for all divers.

Nitrox is available on-site for those looking to extend their no-decompression limits. The centre also provides a terrace area for managing your kit before and after your sessions.

The marine life around Tahiti is diverse, with reef fish such as Angelfish (Pomacanthidae), Damselfish (Pomacentridae), and various Wrasse (Labridae) inhabiting the coral structures. You will often see schools of Snappers (Lutjanidae), Parrotfish (Calotomus), and Triggerfish (Balistidae) moving across the reef.

Larger residents include various sharks such as Whitetip reef sharks (Triaenodon obesus), Blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus), and Lemon sharks (Negaprion brevirostris). You may also encounter Grey reef sharks (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) and Tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) during ocean dives.

In the sandy areas and near the reef, look for Leopard rays (Batoidea), Stingrays (Myliobatiformes), and various species of Moray eel (Muraenidae). Sea turtles, including Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) and Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata), are also common visitors.

For those interested in macro life, the reefs host Nudibranch (Chromodoris willani), various species of Anemonefish, and Scorpionfish (Scorpaena). The seascape is enriched by Gorgonian (Gorgonacea), Soft coral (Alcyonacea), and various species of Hard coral (Scleractinia).

From August to November, you have the opportunity to see Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) during their seasonal migration.

Diving in Tahiti involves a variety of environments, from the protected reef flats to the more open ocean conditions. Divers should be prepared for different levels of swell and current depending on the specific site selected.
