About Les Gorgones
Les Gorgones is a Tahiti Iti boat dive on a deep gorgonian wall near Taravao, where the draw is the vertical relief, vivid coral growth, and dense reef life rather than a shallow sightseeing stop. Plan it as a proper charter dive: the best runs depend on calm sea state, steady boat timing, and enough gas to enjoy the wall without rushing the turn.
