Introductory Dive in Bora Bora (afternoon)

Posted By : Arvid_C
I had not been scuba diving for over 15 years. Yet, the instructors made me feel very comfortable and made sure I could enjoy the beautiful underwater world of Bora Bora. They were also super flexible by accommodating a last minute change. I wasn’t feeling well the day of the dive, so they kindly let me reschedule to the following day. Highly recommended!

I’ve done several dives but my wife has never scuba dived before. She was pretty nervous prior. They made her feel very comfortable and walked her through the entire activity closely. She ended up loving it!

Highly recommend this diving experience! My husband and I scheduled the intro dive and had such an amazing experience that we immediately booked 2 more dives! Everything was so easy and enjoyable from booking with Jenny, our 1st dive with David and our last 2 dives with Julia. We are beginner divers with no certifications. Both instructors made instruction clear, they ensured our safety throughout and maximized our dive time, making sure we saw all the amazing underwater sights--sharks, manta rays, fish, coral gardens, etc. Thank you to Jenny, David, Julia, and the team at Bora Bora dive! You helped us make memories that will last a lifetime! Mauruuru roa!

Truly a great experience. Our guide Dan, took the time to explain things prior to starting and made sure we were comfortable. Once we were in the water he really helped get us calm and used to the tank and the breather. We had such a great time exploring below. We saw such beautiful marine life and eels to boot! Dan, thanks for making the experience so enjoyable! This was truly a highlight of our trip!

The most memorable parts of the introductory dive were the dive master and the fish. The dive master put my us at ease and treated us to a great experience.

I chose this experience because of 2 specific factors, first being that it’s an introductory dive as I don’t feel comfortable with diving, second being that it’s stated that it’s a maximum of 2 pax per diver. It’s a bit grey for my experience, so let me elaborate, my dive were 4 pax to a diver, it was a mum and her 2 kids and me with a diver (JP) assigned to us. I was the last into the water, the mum and the 2 kids went in and spent a long time to what felt like forever, I didn’t have my watch with me to really tell the time, but it definitely was somewhere between 20mins to 30mins, the mum had issue with equalising her ear pressure and it delayed them. Eventually they went on to dive, leaving none of them in my sight while I look down from the surface of the water, trying to enjoy whatever I could see under the water as I do not know if that was it for me, I wasn’t told what was the plan, since I am left alone, citing that I seemingly breathe really fast and heavy when I got into the water as I was very nervous, because I don’t feel safe and at ease, hence I went for this introductory dive with a max of 2 pax and a diver. At one point I struggled with my mask and some water came into my mouth, I pulled the rope to bring myself to the boat and tried to call out for the guy who’s on boat (the one who drive the boat) for assistance but he didn’t hear me, I eventually got to bring myself in with the rope so close to knock on the boat to get his attention, little did I know, my elbow were black as I rubbed against the bottom of the boat and rubbed off the special paint that prevent algae, I was told about the paint after the dive and was explained about this special paint by JP. After what felt like a forever wait, JP finally came back for me and signalled if I’m okay and I signalled back “ok”, and we went for a quick look around the corals and explore some marine life and got back to the boat. I’m just glad I got to see the deeper part of the marine life in Bora Bora as it’s my first time to Bora Bora and I’m not sure if I’ll ever be back, this is also my first experience with Viator, so overall it doesn’t match what’s portrayed for the services. I said this is a bit grey as I kind of have a 1-1 at the end when JP came back for me, but 80% of the time in the water before this, I was pretty much alone on the surface and at one point struggling to get any attention, which is quite an uneasy feeling. Being a first experience with Viator, this is a little disappointing.

This was far from my first dive, though I’m not certified, so I’ve done many of these intro dives. I went with a first-time Diver, and he loved the experience. Perhaps I would like this better if I was part of this for the first time. The dive itself was fantastic (at least for Bora Bora — there are definitely better places to dive in the world), but I was disappointed by the instructor. He didn’t go in to a lot of detail regarding how to use the BCD, clear the regulator, how often to equalize, etc. I filled in a lot of that info for my husband because I felt he was missing key information. When my husband was struggling with his buoyancy underwater, it took the instructor multiple minutes to notice and come fix it. My husband should have known how to inflate and deflate his BCD on his own. It should not have taken the instructor fixing it for him. There was no pool dive like many places offer — the dive in the shallow ocean is the first and only dive. The 30 minutes goes quickly, especially when much of the time is taken up in learning how to dive. I wish it was longer and more in-depth. I would personally rate this 3/5, but because most of my complaints are on behalf of my husband who didn’t mind so much, I’ll add an extra star.
