All about Melonheaded Whales dive site

Melonheaded Whales is likely not a standard reef site but an offshore wildlife encounter area. In French Polynesia, these dolphins are usually encountered from the surface or boat rather than treated as a predictable scuba subject.

What to see

Melon-headed whales may be encountered in the wider offshore area, along with dolphins and pelagic fish. Underwater sightings while scuba diving should not be expected.

When To Go Diving

Encounters depend on offshore conditions and local wildlife movement, not a fixed dive season. May to October often offers calmer seas and better visibility.
