Overview

Our private helmet diving experience takes you 6 feet (3 meters) deep into a coral garden teeming with parrot fish, butterfly fish, clown fish, moray eels, stingrays, and more. You will wear a specially designed diving helmet resting on your shoulders that keeps your head completely dry, allowing you to breathe normally and walk freely underwater for 30 minutes. A professional scuba diving instructor will be by your side throughout, making sure you have a safe and unforgettable underwater experience in Bora Bora.

Itinerary

Your private adventure starts with a speedboat pickup at your hotel pontoon or at the Vaitape pier, in front of the Tourism Office. As you cruise across the lagoon, enjoy the views of Bora Bora's iconic mountain, just you and your group, no strangers on board. At the dive site, the famous yellow helmets are waiting. Your certified scuba diving instructor will walk you through a safety briefing, explaining what to expect and how to make the most of your 30-minute underwater walk. No swimming, scuba diving, or snorkeling experience needed. At 6 feet (3 meters) deep, the helmet becomes surprisingly light, and you are free to explore the coral garden at your own pace, surrounded by parrot fish, butterfly fish, clown fish, moray eels, stingrays, and if you are lucky, a sea turtle. Keep an eye out for Coco Chanel, a resident stingray and local celebrity who may just photobomb your souvenir photos. After 30 unforgettable minutes underwater, board your private speedboat back to your pickup point. Perfect for couples, families, and friends who want to share this experience together, with the full attention of your instructor.
