What do our customers have to say?

"I've been diving all around the world for almost 40 years and your shop was the best international experience I have ever had. Being a Navy diver, safety is always a concern when I dive internationally with my wife and daughter. Your team is the best; great equipment, safety procedures, gear readily available and a person topside at all times just in case. I would definitely recommend your shop to anyone that is diving out of Rarotonga..... "   Read More

Environment

Eco diversAt Dive Rarotonga we try our best to be Eco Friendly Divers. We always make sure that we take only pictures and leave only bubbles on all our dive excursions.

To protect the coral reef from anchor damage, we have installed mooring systems on 5 of our most dived sites, sharing these with other dive operators on the island to minimise the impact on the reef of boat traffic.

We also ask everyone during our dive briefings to be aware of their buoyancy control and streamlining to protect the coral. .
