About La Baie de Paea
La Baie de Paea is a west-coast Tahiti reef dive in Paea Bay, known for a coral plateau that rolls into a gentle slope and deeper edge. It works well for all levels when the sea is settled, with hard and soft coral, lagoon fish and other reef life around the gardened sections. Plan on boat access through a local operator, and treat the outer slope as more condition-sensitive than the bay itself.
