Les Éboulis

This dive site, Les Éboulis, is located just a few minutes from the Taina marina in French Polynesia. It offers divers the unique opportunity to explore both the deeper bottom of the channel and the shallower areas between the main lagoon and the protective coral barrier. The site features a vibrant coral garden where divers can find and interact with "huts" that serve as artificial shelters, enhancing the marine habitat. Les Éboulis is a renowned habitat for various fascinating and well-camouflaged species, including stonefish, scorpionfish, and lionfish, which are frequently spotted amongst the corals. The coral garden's 'huts' provide a privileged refuge for numerous juvenile fish, contributing to a rich tapestry of small marine life. Night dives here promise delightful surprises, revealing nocturnal creatures and behaviors not seen during the day. The dive site is suitable for visiting year-round, with night dives highly recommended to experience its full biodiversity. For freedivers, the shallow average depth of 8 meters makes it an ideal spot to explore the coral gardens and observe the abundant macro life. Divers should exercise caution around the venomous stonefish, scorpionfish, and lionfish, and be mindful of potential boat traffic near the marina and channel.
