All our boats are equipped with an oxygen therapy kit. All monitors are trained in first aid and are retrained each year. The closest decompression chamber is in Papeete, so the trip is very short.

Is Civil Liability Insurance mandatory?
"Nemo'z" covers you when you dive or snorkel in our establishment. But we encourage you to take an individual liability insurance.
What level is required to dive in Moorea?
Level 1 or Open Water is sufficient to discover Moorea's diving sites. The dives are relatively easy and are perfect to regain to dive. For more experienced divers, the groups are adapted and more committed dives are possible.
What is the water temperature?
In Polynesia we dive all year round. The southern summer from November/December to April/May brings temperatures around 29°C. The rest of the year our coldest temperature is 26 ° C!
When can we observe lemon sharks?
Sharks are seen all year but are less common during the breeding season between September and October.
When can turtles be observed?
We have the chance to observe green and hawksbill turtles all year round.
When can humpback whales be seen?
The whale season generally begins in mid-July and ends in early November. Their arrival varies from one year to another within 1 or 2 weeks. The whales are observed 2 to 3 times a year during dives. The best way to see them is with fins, mask and snorkel. Be careful, we go into the wateronly if the behavior of the whales allows it (95% chance on the day). Nature decides. The observations in natural environment are not contractual.
What are the advantages of taking a private boat?
Choosing the option of a private boat allows you to explore the sites of your choice accompanied by a certified instructor and a captain to ensure drift dives. If you take it for a day, there is the possibility to go around the island, have lunch in the middle of a deserted lagoon, and enjoy the expedition by snorkeling with turtles, eagle rays and sharks...

FAQ snorkeling

What level do I need to participate in the animal expeditions with fins, mask and snorkel?
Even if you have never put on fins, mask and snorkel, you will be initiated in complete safety. Rays and sharks are only in 1 meter deep of water!
More advanced snorkelings can be offered to the more advanced snorkelers, such as drifting in the passes.
What is drift snorkeling?
Accompanied by a guide when the weather conditions allow it, we offer to go into the water and let yourself be carried by the current. In a passe, you will discover its existing fauna and topography.
Which emblematic species can be observed?
  • It is 99% guaranteed to see green sea turtle, stingray, and blacktip reef shark.
  • • Spotted eagle rays are 80% likely to be seen.
  • For dolphins, it depends on the species. For the long-beaked common dolphins found in the passes and lagoon, it is 80% of the trips of the ½ day. It is very rare to go into the water with them. For the rough-toothed dolphins that are offshore, it depends a lot on the state of the sea, the calmer it is, the more chances we have to observe them. On the other hand, if we find them, we can frequently join them in the water.
  • Humpback whales are the main attraction every year between mid-July and early November. Our expeditions are dedicated to their encounter and we observe the mat 95%. Beware, we go into the water if the whales’ behavior allows it (90% chance on the day), nature decides. Therefore, observations with fins, mask, ans snorkel are not contractual.
  • The observation of other species of cetaceans, sharks, rays, pelagic fishes remain a matter of luck.

FAQ expeditions

Is it dangerous to swim with whales?
Humpback whales are absolutely harmless to humans. It is very rare, but certain behaviors can cause contact between a whale and a swimmer. For this reason, you will be given safety briefings and you will always be accompanied by an experienced guide.
Is whale watching guaranteed?
It is very rare not to observe whales. When that happens, it is at the very beginning of the season, at the end of the season, or when the weather conditions prevent us from going to certain places on the island where they are found!
What if we don't see the whales?
If no whales are seen, the price of an "off season whale watching" trip will apply. And if our schedule allows it, we will suggest that you come back with a 50% discount.
What are the percentages of chances of swimming with whales?
In high whale season we have 95% success for the launchings on a day trip, and 80% on a half day.
Swimming with the whales is not contractual, only the behavior of the whales will decide whether we can go or not.
Can we go home if we are seasick?
Our expeditions being private, you will decide your itinerary. There is the possibility of returning to the lagoon to "regain strength" and then leave.
What equipment should I bring?
We provide fins, masks and snorkels, but if you have your own equipment, it will always be more suitable! Take your towels, rash vests or t-shirt for swimming, windbreakers, sunscreens.
What meals can we have?
We have a selection of catered meals. Our fresh tahitian raw tuna with coconut milk (fresh tuna) is delicious! If you come for a day, we take it first. During the stays, we alternate with other dishes such as chicken salad, sashimi...
We do not take responsibility for offering dishes with special diets or requirements (allergies, gluten, etc.).
What’s happened if the weather is bad?
The weather is mostly pleasant at this time of year. A strong wind can contribute to poor conditions by the waves it forms. In this case we go to the places of Moorea which are downwind.
