I've been diving a long time but the dives we took in Fakarava were truly incredible. We dove one day at the North Pass and took a full day for two dives at the South Pass. We had Fred in the South and one of the dives in the north. He is a very good dive guide who looks after... More

One of the best place to dive in French Polynesia. Very nice team, professional and passionate. Even your friend that don't dive can see a lot of things by snorkling. The Hotel White Sand is also a very very nice to stay. The combination will make you a perfect stay in paradise if you like to dive or to swim.... More

I enjoyed the two day, two tank dives swam with an eagle ray, a turtle, a lot of fish and very lovely coral reef. I also did a challenging pass dive. The dive masters at all top dive sites are excellent and love what they do. I have dived with none better. More

We dove 3 days with Top Dive Fakarava and it was the experience of a lifetime. The standout dives were the North pass and Ali Baba's canyon and the South pass dive. The north pass dive is technically challenging and NOT for beginners. We dove with Fred and he told us he wanted to observe us dive a wall dive... More

The staff at Fakarava (north and south) were fabulous! South was awesome for sharks and in the north we swam with dolphins (kudos to our guide Stephanie). We were well taken care of. Picked up on time and very professional. The only disappointing thing was that the groups were very large thus stuffing the boats to capacity. But rides were... More

Had the most incredible dives with TD in the north & south pass. The club is really well equiped and organised, it lacks a bit of soul though. Luckily my dive master, Shankar, was really fun, passionate, professionnal and caring during the dive. Always felt safe even during more technical dives with strong current. Wasn't overpopulated at all as stated... More

Hi, we did there 5 dives, both in Gaurae in the North and Tumakohua in the South. Everything was fantastic with the dive centre: good planification and organization and all the team were very kind and professional. Special mention to Sebastien: all dives with him were intense and beautiful, he knows how to make the things easy and enjoyable! Moreover,... More
