About Temae
Temae is a relaxed Moorea dive on a coral plate that eases down a gentle slope with sandy tongues. It is famous for shark-nursery sightings and for the way schools of fish stay close in the blue, so it works for divers who want an easy profile with real wildlife. The site is especially appealing when visibility is clear and the water is calm enough to let the reef shape stand out.
