We had a great experience with Vincent from AquaBlue. We have done snorkeling and scuba diving, but had never done helmet diving. Vincent is an excellent dive master and strives for safety and fun. We had a blast and would do it again in a heartbeat! We highly recommend this experience.
I have read most of the 5-star reviews and I don't think I could do a better job of complimenting AquaBlue than the reviewers. I have done a lot of snorkeling and scuba in my day, so I was a little nervous about putting a heavy helmet on my head, but Vincent and Auge? made both myself and my non-swimming wife comfortable with the whole process. Needless to say what a wonderful experience being able to feel and touch a variety of sea life. We purchased the video and picture package that Auge created and edited (somehow she neglected to edit out my belly!) Kudos to Vincent and Auge - highly recommend!
This is a very fun and unique experience! Vincent was a great guide. He was personable, accommodating and made sure we had wonderful time! Getting to interact with Katie the Ray was a highlight!
Don't miss this one! Vincent and Aude (I hope I got that right) were wonderful, patient guides!!! From the experience of playing with a sting ray that seems to know Vincent by sight, to the amazingly colorful fish, and even a brief glimpse of a black tip reed shark, it was such a great outing! I did this with my 80 year old mother and her first words as she came back onto the boat were "I want to do this again!". Vincent takes his time explaining exactly how everything works and gives everyone the opportunity to ask questions and get comfortable before even thinking about getting in the water. What an amazing way to get up close to the fish, as you walk in their world. You will want to make time for this adventure!!!
It was such a fun experience. The guides were funny, kind and helpful. They made it an easy experience to enjoy
Vincent was wonderful with a highly engaging and friendly temperament! The helmet dive experience was one I will never forget, and the photos and videos they create for you make sure it will last for years to come! The stingray encounters and fish all around was a wonderful treat! Highly recommended!!
It was an awesome experience. Crystal clear water. Abundant of fishes. Got to touch friendly stringrays even saw a couple of sharks. The area was safe and Vincent was very reassuring. My wife who couldn't swim and was a little apprehensive found the courage to go down and enjoyed the whole experience.
It was a fun experience. The guide was very professional and all went smooth. We fell in love with Kate, the stingray that loves the guide so much that acted more like a dog!🤣🤣
It was wonderful! We had the best time. They were fun and easy to be with. We loved it all! Played with the sing rays for an hour!
Vincent was extremely helpful with everyone but made sure people that were unsure about the activity felt comfortable.
Great time!! Great experience, stingrays/shark/beautiful fish and corals, amazing tour guides! Hotel pick up was appreciated!
We are on a world cruise and visited Moorea in 08/26. My husband and I are non-swimmers but want to enjoy the beautiful coral reefs of Moorea. We had a little doubt at first being in the open water but once we're in the water, we had an amazing time. Vincent and his team were great. He patiently explained to us every steps of the experience and check on us constantly to make sure we are okay. We saw and touched a sting ray and many species of fish. I highly recommend this excursion and would do it again the next time we're in Moorea.
Excellent experience with our family of four. Our kids, 9 and 13, thought it was the coolest thing they’ve ever done. Highly recommend!
Amazing experience! Great service and explanation of the equipment and guidance in the water. Good pick up and drop off ferry service for those coming from Tahiti. Calm approach even for those a touch nervous!
If you’re visiting Moorea and even remotely considering the Aqua Blue Dive Bell experience, stop thinking about it and book it—you will not regret it. From the moment we arrived, Vincent made us feel completely welcome and at ease. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine passion for what he does are evident from the very beginning. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered every question with patience, and made everyone feel safe and excited for the adventure ahead. The dive bell experience itself was nothing short of magical. Being able to walk beneath the crystal-clear waters of Moorea and experience the incredible marine life up close was something I’ll remember for the rest of my life. The entire experience was flawlessly organized, relaxing, and absolutely breathtaking. What truly sets Aqua Blue apart is Vincent. He doesn’t just provide an excursion—he creates an unforgettable memory. His attention to detail, positive attitude, and commitment to making sure every guest has an incredible time are second to none. You can tell he genuinely loves sharing the beauty of Moorea with others, and that enthusiasm makes the entire experience even more special. Out of everything we did in French Polynesia, this was hands down our favorite experience. If I could give Aqua Blue and Vincent more than five stars, I absolutely would. Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. We can’t wait to come back and do it all over again!
This is a must do!!!! It was amazing to seen the sea creatures up close and personal. Vincent was a great instructor, kind, and caring! I loved my pictures because they truly tell the story!
What an amazing experience, in fact it rates as one of the best tours we have done of all the destinations we have visited. We got to interact with Kitty the stingray and being such animal lovers this was such a special time for us. Kitty is always in the area and comes to see the tour hosts Vincent, Sylvain & Aude when she hears the boats engine. To watch her interact with Sylvain & Aude is just wonderful, Kitty truly loves and trusts these guys so much. My wife has missed out on so many past snorkelling & scuba experiences because of her fear of putting her head under water. This Aqua Blue experience has changed that and she now snorkels alongside which is very strange because your head, although under the water is encased in an air fed and water free globe for want of a better explanation but of course you can see that from their pictures. Aude takes photos and a video which you get to view as soon as you arrive back at the mooring and you can purchase as a keep sake, memories we will cherish. This truly is a must do activity.

The tour which is usually for upto 8 persons we ended up being the only two, enjoying a private tour with Oud (I hope I spelt the name right) and Silva. They patiently explained the entire process which ended up being pretty easy. The best part is that you breathe normally thru’ your nose like on land, which makes it easier than a snuba or scuba dive. You spend about 30 mins under water, literally attracting lots of fishes. The star of the show ofcourse is Keti, the Stingray who willingly obliges to interact and be petted.
Highly recommended tour. Vincent was a terrific guide. He ensured everyone knew what was happening and I always felt safe and monitored. The experience itself was fabulous with lots of interaction with fish.
Excellent experience. Vincent is wonderful. Very efficient , well run operation- but they made it so much fun also.
Go for it! Once in a lifetime experience! Awesome! The people are so attentive and knowledgeable. The fish were amazing!
It is perfectly safe for even non swimmers. It is the coolest experience I’ve done so far, highly recommended. You get a media package towards the end which is an extra payment but worth every penny. Feels like walking in space. Instructors pay attention to participants.
Great to do something to tick off the bucket list a great team took care of us picked me up from ferry terminal then explained what we were going to and see them took us on the dive
We were on a French Polynesian cruise and our final stop was Moorea where we had pre booked this excursion direct with Ponant as we were on the Paul Gauguin. I had seen the videos on you tube and we were both thoroughly looking forward to this. We, along with 6 others, were taken to the designated spot by small boat. We split into 2 groups of 4. We chose to go in the second group so went snorkelling while waiting. Our turn! Go down some steps where the helmet (with lead weights) is lowered onto your shoulders. Down you go (about 10 feet). You need to wear reef shoes for this and I also had a rash top on. It is harder to walk on the sea floor than I thought. The diver, Vincent, had some food for the fish and as he has been doing this for many years the fish expect him and come swimming. Before long a manta ray arrives amd obviously this is because it gets fed regularly! It was a truly amazing experience. If you get claustrophobic this is probably not for you as the helmets are a bit restrictive. I would thoroughly recommend this trip. It is better than the underwater scooter trip we did a few days earlier.
Omg what an amazing experience. Definitely recommend these guys. Everyone was so kind, knowledgeable and helpful
You don’t need to know how to swim. You just have to trust the operators. There’s a team of three once stays on top making sure your hose works. The other two is swimming with you taking your pictures and tracking the fish and guiding you through the water.
The team are exceptional. The understated attention to safety and us was next level without it being overwhelming. My wife is very anxious at times and these people had her raving about the experience underwater. We also enjoyed the personal time to snorkel the crystal clear waters and reef and see all the different types of fish. This was outstanding. Put it on your list of things to do.
Vincent and team were extremely fun and the whole experience was a blast. The stingray was just like a pet dog and would constantly stay close so you could pet her. Great experience and a great time.
It was great to be picked up and dropped off from the port in Moorea, saved us hugely on taxi fares, the experience was amazing, professional, knowledgeable, and engaging guides, highly recommend
The water is pristine. The staff are exceptionally friendly and care for you. My wife is very anxious and she thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The snorkeling in the area was perfect. The helmet a fantastic experience. Safety is taken very seriously but in a subtle way with everything and everyone supported and monitored.
Left our place @ 6:15AM, there was an accident, missed the ferry @ 8AM. Out the cost of ferry and excursion
Loved the experience! Vincent and the team were wonderful. They explained everything clearly and ensured everyone on board was safe and maximised the tour on and under the water. The video and photography was so professional. Highly recommend this tour to all. Thank you Vincent and Team!
what a great experience... we nearly cancelled through some health issues but wow, are we so glad we didn't. Such a professional and fun team.. well done Vincent.
Absolutely fantastic experience for the whole family! Vincent was an amazing guide! We got to pet sting rays and interact with a ton of fish! The water was beautifully clear. The photographer took absolutely amazing photos and videos of the whole family. I would 100% recommend and would come and do the experience again. My entire family ages 14-77 thoroughly enjoyed and will remember forever. Thank you AquaBlue!
Amazing tour! Me, my husband, and our 17 year old son took this tour. It was our favorite excursion for the 3 that we did while visiting Moorea. My son said it was 10 out of 10, which is amazing for a teenager to say.
Wonderful! Unique one of kind experience. They made it very easy as we were picked up at the cruise tender point and it was just a short ride. The team was wonderful and it was very intimate as there were only 4 of us and the 2 crew. Quick boat ride to the location and then the experience was just so cool. Lots of fish but the stingray steals the show. Beautiful! Highly highly recommend! The video they produce for purchase after was so well done!!
Amazing experience not to be missed. Fantastic guides, a Moorea must do. Seeing the marine life up close is so spectacular
Brilliant experience from start to finish with fabulous guides. Dont miss this trip.
This was a most awesome experience. I was nervous, but Vincent made me feel at ease. The helmet covered my entire head and my head never hot wet. Vincent wss very attentive and we saw stingrays and lots of colorful tropical fish. You don't need to know how to swim for this helmet dive. A photographer took pictures and video with her underwater go pro and they turned out fantastic. A must do when in Moorea.
It wss a wonderful experience. A must do. Very safe and Vincent was so very helpful. Great underwater video . Photographer took great underwater pictures and video with a GoPro. We enjoyed seeing colorful tropical fish, coral and stingrays. Your whole head remains dry in the helmet.
We did the Aquablue Moorea helmet diving and really enjoyed the experience. It’s a fun activity for couples, friends, or families and a great way to discover the underwater world without needing scuba diving certification. As a scuba diver myself, I especially liked that helmet diving is similar to how people were diving about 100 years ago. It feels a bit like stepping back in time while still being very safe and easy. I would also recommend it to certified divers who are curious to experience what diving felt like in the early days. The staff were very friendly and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. A nice and unique activity to try when visiting Moorea!
Such a fun and memorable experience! Vincent was a great guide and was very knowledgeable! I have problems with my ears popping when diving deep, but the helmet keeps you drive and was very easy to equalize the pressure underwater!
Beautiful and very enjoyable. Makes me want to learn how to scuba dive. Great crew. Want to do it again!
Outstanding outfit, great customer service, novel adventure using old methods resulting in a great time for children & people of all ages. Amazing views, easier than either snorkeling or scuba. Highly recommended. Go dive using the helmet dive system. Easy, safe and enjoyable. Thank you for making wife's birthday.
I had a wonderful experience with AquaBlue Moorea. It was my first time ever going under the water, and Vincent and his daughter are such amazing people. They helped me feel more confident and less scared from the very beginning. I loved every minute under the sea. The underwater world is absolutely breathtaking — so beautiful and peaceful. It felt like entering another world. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone who comes to Tahiti. You should definitely visit Moorea and try this. It’s a very rare opportunity, and with AquaBlue, it is completely safe and truly enjoyable. A special thank you to Vincent’s family and the whole team for taking such great care of me and making this an unforgettable experience. I will cherish this memory forever! Hang from New Zeland
The tour operator, Vincent, could not have been more helpful. We were coming off a ship, the Queen Mary 2, and he picked us up right at the tender pier. He was helpful throughout the process and is a friendly and funny guy. Highly recommend this unique experience!
Amazing! We can’t expect more. We see a lot of fishes and they’re just around us! Wonderful experience I think nobody want to miss it.
It was one of the best things I have ever done!!! The staff was great, fabulous. Do this you will love it 😊
