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 bel accueil chez Nuku Dive. Tout le monde se met en quatre pour que tout se passe bien. Nous avons fait une plongée magnifique, quantité de bancs de poissons divers, requins, raie manta et aigle!

Would give more stars if I could. My wife describes as wonderful.
Truly a one of a kind snorkeling experience. Saw more mantas than we expected, and had our breaths taken away. Wish more of the island spoke about how incredible of an experience this is. Julie and Hugo were both great. Can't recommend enough - by far the highlight of Nuku Hiva.

Une superbe découverte ! Des plongées exceptionnelles, foisonnantes de vie et vraiment différentes de ce qu’on peut voir ailleurs en Polynésie. Amateurs de petit comme de gros, il y en a pour tous les goûts…
Un grand merci à Julie et à toute son équipe, moniteurs comme capitaines, pour leur professionnalisme, leur gentillesse et la super ambiance. Organisation au top, matériel impeccable : une très belle adresse à découvrir aux Marquises !

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!

Ahhhh, aux Marquises... "gémir n'est pas de mise" chantait le grand Brel. Et c'est bien vrai.
Un autre monde. Sauvage, des paysages admirables, sauvages, luxuriants.
En plongée, la visibilité est moins bonne qu'aux Tuamotu, tout le monde le sait.
Et les recontres, imprévisibles, surprenantes : raies mantas, requins marteaux, carangues, thons, carangues, murènes, tout pour les yeux.
Si vous voulez voir du gros, c'est là qu'il faut aller plonger.
Oui, c'est la mer qui décide, mais quand elle est calme, quel régal!
Nuku Dive, une super équipe, un professionnalisme et une sécurité assurés, un accueil sympathique et convivial.
Dès que je peux, j'y reviens.
Lionel.

Ahhh, the Marquesas Islands... "complaining is out of place," sang the great Brel. And it's so true.
Another world. Wild, with breathtaking, untamed, lush landscapes.
Everyone knows that the visibility isn't as good for diving as it is in the Tuamotus.
And the encounters are unpredictable and surprising: manta rays, hammerhead sharks, trevally, tuna, moray eels—a feast for the eyes.
If you want to see big things, this is the place to dive.
Yes, the sea decides, but when it's calm, what a treat!
Nuku Dive: a fantastic team, guaranteed professionalism and safety, and a warm, friendly welcome. I'll be back as soon as I can.
Lionel.
