On a typical day we offer up to 4 day dives however the 4th day dive may be substituted for a night dive when the boat is anchored within a lagoon. A 7-night itinerary provides for between 18-20 dives, whilst during our 10 night itineraries, up to 30 dives will be possible.

The diving day aboard the French Polynesia Master is scheduled as follows:
Light Breakfast followed by a briefing and Dive 1.
Full Breakfast, relaxation period, briefing and Dive 2.
Lunch, relaxation period, briefing and Dive 3.
Snack relaxation period, briefing and Dive 4, where possible. Dinner. Guests may also take the opportunity to visit the islands and walk upon the pristine beaches.

Our diving itineraries take you through the Tuamotu Island chain, from Rangiroa to Fakarava, with a choice of 7 or 10 night safaris between these two hot spots, as well as a Fakarava-Fakarava 7-night loop which maximises the time spent in this area. Dive sites are typically channel or “Pass” dives and the route planning for each trip is highly dependent upon the incoming and out-going tides for each island. We dive the optimum tide for each site to bring you the ultimate in pelagic fish action. Strong currents to be expected and it is therefore recommended divers have experience beyond beginner level to ensure maximum enjoyment. Dive sites also include outer reefs, plateaus and coral gardens found with the lagoon, where currents are less intense and many smaller creatures can be found.

Water temperatures throughout the year range from 24-28°C (60-82°F), with January-March being the warmest months and July-November the coolest. The cooler waters bring forth migrating humpback whales and the spawning of marbled groupers, with June/July being the optimum time to see them in large numbers.

Getting there and away…
The French Polynesia Master embarks and disembarks at Fakarava Airport. Take your international flight into and out of Fa’a’ā International Airport in Tahiti and that if possible you arrive in French Polynesia 1 day before cruise departure so you‟re well rested before the start of the cruise. There are 6-7 flights per week between Tahiti and Fakarava (depending on the season), which are only around 1 hour in duration. Disembarkation at the end of the cruise will be just before 10am. If you are not remaining in French Polynesia for additional nights after your cruise, please allow plenty of time for the transfer to the airport and for check-in

Staying there…
The local currency in French Polynesia is the French Pacific Franc (CFP). The following forms of payment are accepted: all legal bank notes, international credit cards and traveller’s check. The international banks with foreign exchange offices on Tahiti and the most frequently visited islands are the Bank of Tahiti, the Bank of Polynesia and Socredo. International hotels also provide this service but be careful: some atolls and islands in the Austral and Gambier group have no banking facilities.

Must I spend an additional night in Tahiti either side of my liveaboard trip?
