What should you pack?

You should only need bathing suits, light cotton or linen clothes, a pair of pants. You can bring a light jacket or sweater for evenings during the Austral winter. You should also make sure to pack a mosquito repellent and sandals for walking in water to prevent injuries on rocks or coral.
It is also recommended for those not usually diving to pack snorkeling gear so they can enjoy a snorkeling swim lagoon at any time.

Air transport of dive gear

For those who wish to bring their own diving equipment, please be aware that some airlines flying to Tahiti may allow excess luggage on those flights. Be sure to consult your airline or travel agency for further information prior to departure.
On inter island flights in French Polynesia, the local airline grants a 5 kg (11 lbs.) excess baggage allowance to travelers with a diving card presented at check-in. There is also a special class of service that you can book in order to check-in 50 kg (110 lbs.) baggage instead of the usual allowance of 20 kg (50 lbs). If you think that you’ll be traveling with heavy luggage, please consult your travel agent for further details. If you wish to visit several islands, the local airline offers several types of very interesting air packages.

Fellow divers, don’t forget…

Bring your valid diver’s license or diving passport, computer and insurance certificate. Also make sure to bring your logbook to write each of your diving expeditions and of course, your camera.
