Are there any difference of rates if we bring our own equipment ?
Our rates are the same whether or not you have your own equipment.
Should we book the dates of our dives in advance, or can we do this on site ?
It is possible to book your dives on site, however, we advise you to do so in advance.
If my friend is in training (OWD or SD), would I have the opportunity to dive with him ?
Yes, it is possible to dive together, respecting the depth limitation that is granted.
During the dives of my friend, would I have the opportunity to accompany him (as non diver) ?

What is the best season for lemon sharks / manta rays encounters - Where can you see them, which islands ?
You can observe them throughout the year.
The most popular sites are :
** Lemon sharks : Tahiti, the White Valley,
** Manta rays : Bora Bora, Anau site
Warning, if these sites are reputed to see these species, TOPDIVE does not guarantee the encounter.
Can we do three dives per day ?
For safety reasons, we limit the number of dives per day and per diver at 2 dives. Nitrox certified divers will have the opportunity to dive up to 3 times a day (or 4 in Rangiroa – Sunset with a minimum of 4 divers). For non-certified divers, we advise them to pass Nitrox certification during their first 2 dives. It will allow them for next days to do more dives per day (3/4).
