About this site
Les 3 Pitons is a dive site off Tahiti made up of three volcanic pinnacles that rise from around 40 metres to peaks at 5 and 10 metres. The dive covers depths from 5 to 40 metres.
Each pinnacle has its own freshwater spring, which gives the site dramatic topography. Spires stand against the deep blue water, lit by a halocline shimmer.
Turtles, schools of surgeonfish, clownfish, spotted pufferfish and scorpionfish reward patient exploration around the pinnacles.
