New to Regaldive: French Polynesian Liveaboards -Wondrous Dive Sites with Sharks, Mantas and Dolphins
UK-based dive holiday specialist Regaldive has announced that it has further expanded its liveaboard programme with the introduction of French Polynesia. This destination is renowned as one of the most spectacular diving locations on earth and is well known for its abundance of shark species and manta ray cleaning stations.
French Polynesia’s plethora of small islands is surrounded by stunning white beaches, with crystal clear warm water setting the scene for some great diving. Situated in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, French Polynesia is made up of 118 volcanic and coral islands and atolls, dispersed in the South Pacific, stretching for more than 2,000km.
This island archipelago is home to some of the most wondrous dive sites, with incredible shark action, manta ray cleaning stations and bottle-nosed dolphins. Divers can expect to see black tips, silky, tiger, grey reef, hammerhead and silver tip sharks cruising the reef. Schools of snapper and fusiliers, huge Napoleon wrasse and marbled groupers and stunning hard corals are also on the diving menu.
Introducing the French Polynesia Master liveaboard:
- Brand new, with a steel hull, the French Polynesia Master welcomes aboard 25 guests for
7 night or 10 night dive safaris cruising around Fakarava, Unesco Biosphere Reserve, Marquesas Islands and the Tuamotu Archipelago. - 7 night trips aboard French Polynesia Master start from £2,599 per person in a twin lower deck cabin including 18-20 dives (weather permitting), transfers, full board, air, tanks, weight belt and weights. Flights are excluded, but can be arranged through Regaldive.
