Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Aquatiki 2 - Rekomended for diving and nice time on the best beaches near Fakarava, with turquoise water, white sand, palms and happiness of life. We have 6 diving on Fakarava and Tuamotu. For me was most beautiful places to dive. I saw a lot of sharks on each dive, a lot of fish, mantas, snails, parotfishes, napoleons so big, not one, a couple, three together, it was really nice. Corals are hard, smaller soft corals. But it is not for beginners divers, because there's are carents and a lot of shark's, if you are afraid. But staff were excellent and each dive was safe and very good well prepare. They take a lot about equipment an were very carefully about safe on the bout, on the water when we go jumping and after when we are finishes diving to very fast catches us from carent. Amaizing, really.”
Recommended for: Places to dive. Very safe diving with sharks, mantas and a lot of animals ander water. Excellent staff. Activities extra in the beautiful places.. Food - every say was something new with desert.. We know plan's before next day with hours. It was very helpful to be very well organised. We have got a lot of fun after diving..
