Tables de Taravao
Two-stage Tahiti Iti wall-and-platier dive with tuna and reef shelter.
Tahiti Iti two-in-one dive with a steep wall, a broad coral-built platier, and a route that shifts from open water to shelter-rich terrain.
About Tables de Taravao
Tables de Taravao is a Tahiti Iti dive that combines two distinct terrains in one route: a steep wall with lots of cracks and a wide platier shaped by lifted reef blocks and vaulted grooves. The profile makes the site feel playful rather than technical, with passing pelagics overhead and plenty of shelter for reef fish and crustaceans across the bottom. It is a strong fit for divers who like changing scenery and a route that keeps revealing new structure as you move from one section to the next.
