| There
are a number of scuba diving operators available in Rarotonga
and to a lesser extent on Aitutaki. There are no specialist
dive resorts - they have arrangements with the independent dive
operators, who will pick up divers from around the island.
The year-round warm water with
temperatures of between 23º and 30º(between
75 & 85 degrees),
the easy accessibility and the circular shape of the island
of Rarotonga allows divers to go out in virtually any weather
to take advantage of shelter from rough wave action. There
is a huge variety of coral and splendid visibility of 100
to 200 feet. There is a wide range of diving sites including
caves, wrecks and simple submarine terrain for beginners such
as sand rivers.
There are currently
no liveaboard charter operators in Cook Islands.
The ocean around Rarotonga has many excellent dive sites -Pinnacles,
Black Rock Caves and Mataora. The views, the colorful tropical
fish, the drop-offs and swim-throughs will make your dives
enjoyable and interesting.
