Planning a trip to Tahiti, French Polynesia, in October 2025.
Any advice or suggestions about dive operators, and resorts at this location. Looking at visiting Rangaroi and Fakarava. Might stay a few days on the main island of Tahiti near the airport and try to get a day of diving in before traveling to the other two atolls.

I stayed at the Kia Ora and dove with The Six Passengers when I was in Rangiroa back in October 2019 and I loved both! The diving in and around Tiputa Pass was great and we had amazing interactions with the dolphins on a few dives:

Thanks for the info, our travel agent did recommend Kia Ora. I will look into the Six Passengers Dive operator. the other dive shop that I was told about was called Blue Velvet. The the videos look great hope we are able to dive with the dolphins on our trip.
