These waters at the end of the world…
Welcome to the Land of Men, or Henua Enana in Marquesan, in the heart of the fascinating Marquesas Islands.
Rising from the depths of the Pacific, these legendary islands, shaped by ancestral culture and history, offer an extraordinary playground for divers seeking authenticity. Few have the privilege of exploring the breathtaking richness of these preserved seabeds, among the wildest and most secret on the planet.
Among the most remote archipelagos in the world, the Marquesas hold a remarkable natural heritage. Their high rate of endemism and the diversity of their ecosystems reflect a unique balance. This uniqueness led to their inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List, recognising their outstanding universal value.
Driven by a deep passion for the Marquesas and the will to protect this jewel, Nuku-Dive takes a responsible approach that respects its environment. Our centre invites you to experience an unforgettable immersion in the underwater world of Nuku Hiva, where every dive reveals abundant wildlife, pristine landscapes and striking beauty.
Beyond underwater exploration, every trip is an invitation to discover one of the last marine sanctuaries of French Polynesia.

Très bonne expérience avec Julie et son équipe (merci Christophe !) de Nuku Dive !
Vie sous marine très riche, brief et debrief complets et ambiance détendue. Nous n'avons pas vu de marteaux mais quelques raies et des multitudes de bancs de poissons et murènes qui nous ont comblés ! La visibilité est moins bonne qu'en lagon bien entendu mais nous avons eu de la chance de ce côté là. Dernier avantage : vous serez seuls sur et dans l'eau (pas d'autre club, 1 seul bateau, petit comité). Merci encore !

A fantastic experience with Julie and her team (thanks Christophe!) at Nuku Dive! The underwater life was incredibly rich, the briefing and debriefing were thorough, and the atmosphere was relaxed. We didn't see any hammerheads, but we did see some rays and countless schools of fish and moray eels, which was a real treat! Visibility wasn't as good as in the lagoon, of course, but we were lucky in that respect. Another great advantage: you'll be alone on and in the water (no other dive clubs, just one boat, small group). Thanks again!

Merci à Christophe et Hugues pour nos deux excellentes matinées plongée : bon matériel, sécurité au top, et très bon accompagnement.
On a eu la chance de voir de belles choses dont les requins marteaux, malgré la visibilité "marquisienne".

Thanks to Christophe and Hugues for our two excellent mornings of diving: great equipment, top-notch safety, and excellent guidance.
We were lucky enough to see some beautiful things, including hammerhead sharks, despite the "Marquesan" visibility.

One of the best dive center I had experience to deal with!
Dives are really cool, you can see a lot of endemic species, scalloped hammerhead sharks 😍 Their equipment is nearly all Cressi stuff, they provide flashlights for free for a dive! I was super surprised! I did a dive with Girard, he was a nice fellow, always showing interesting things underwater.
The visibility is not great always, you need to be lucky, same with big stuff underwater ;)
I’m waiting for the time when I come back to dive with them again! Unfortunately no photos or videos to attach since I drowned my phone in Hiva Oa :(

Deux belles plongées avec Christophe qui a su être très bienveillant avec des plongeurs intermittents. Très belle découverte d'un site très poissonneux où les gros ( requins , raies, tortues) et les petits ( dragons bleu) se côtoient à merveille.
Merci à Christophe et à toute l'équipe pour cette belle matinée.

Two fantastic dives with Christophe, who was incredibly kind to us intermittent divers. A wonderful discovery of a site teeming with fish, where large species (sharks, rays, turtles) and small ones (blue dragons) coexist beautifully.
Thank you to Christophe and the whole team for this wonderful morning.

Très bon accueil par Hugues et aussi par la propriétaire Julie dans ce club de plongée au bord de la baie à Taiohae, dans l'île de Nuku Hiva. Deux incroyables plongées où nous avons vu non seulement les raies manta, leopard, marbrées, mais aussi les requins marteau, requins gris, requins pointe blanche du lagon, ainsi qu'une quantité de poissons absolument énorme dans de l'eau qui était très claire, avec une très bonne visibilité jusqu'à 30 mètres. Si vous venez à Nuku Hiva, plongez avec ce club et un must!!!

A very warm welcome from Hugues and also from the owner Julie at this dive club on the edge of the bay in Taiohae, on the island of Nuku Hiva. Two incredible dives where we saw not only manta rays, leopard rays, and marbled rays, but also hammerhead sharks, grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks in the lagoon, as well as an absolutely enormous number of fish in crystal-clear water with excellent visibility up to 30 meters. If you come to Nuku Hiva, diving with this club is a must!

Nuku Dive is an excellent dive center located in the main bay of Nuku Hiva. Julie was very responsive and available to answer my questions. Master Diver Hugues is very professional and showed us the dive sites near the bay (Cape Martin and Sentinel). We dived on drop-offs with hammerhead sharks, dozens of manta rays, leopard rays, eagle rays, dragon moray eels, grey reef sharks, as well as beautiful corals and schools of fish such as bluefin trevally, catfish, tuna, etc. Visibility was between 10 and 20 meters. It's a small club, so remember to book in advance; you won't be disappointed ! Enjoy 🤙
