A quiet Tuamotu atoll for lodge-based lagoon snorkeling, coral gardens and motu life
Pick an activity mode to compare signature sites, skill fit, and gear planning notes before you lock your trip.
As of the 2026-10-28 research scope, an active scuba center, current instructor, cylinder-filling service and bookable guided dive departure on Ahe have not been verified. Cocoperle Lodge markets lagoon snorkeling and transport, not a scuba program. Historical Dive N'Co guides are not proof of current service. Ahe has reef and pass terrain, but depth, conditions, permitted scuba access and qualifications for any particular dive are not currently established. Do not plan a scuba holiday around a presumed Ahe dive operation. See the lodge's current activity descriptions and the Polynesian professional diving rules.
Operator Checklist
Only consider scuba after independent verification of an Ahe-based or legally operating visiting dive professional, site permission, certification and medical requirements, oxygen/first aid, rescue boat, dive insurance, cylinder availability and evacuation plan. The DJS regulatory guidance describes professional obligations. Air Tahiti's extra baggage allowance for dive kit does not list Ahe among the named eligible islands. If scuba is arranged at all, apply DAN flying-after-diving intervals: at least 12 hours for one no-decompression dive, at least 18 hours for repeated dives, with longer margins for decompression dives. If symptoms suggest decompression illness, seek urgent medical advice and do not fly. These are not permission to conduct a dive.
