A brisk half-day that pairs a single guided scuba tank with two snorkeling stops around Bora Bora’s lagoon. Ideal for travelers who want to sample both dives and snorkels in calm morning conditions.

The morning light spills across Bora Bora’s lagoon as the launch eases away from the main motu. Salt and engine heat mix; the lagoon, a broad bowl of turquoise, seems to dare you to drop below its surface. Within an hour you’ll be weighted into a one-tank scuba dive—guided and paced for introductory or certified divers—then surface to explore two separate snorkeling sites where coral gardens and stingrays glide through the shallows.
