Le fer à cheval is a reef dive located off Tahiti Island, characterised by its significant depth profile. The site sits between 33 and 45 metres, requiring intermediate divers to possess solid buoyancy control and careful bottom-time management to monitor no-decompression limits. Access is strictly by boat, and divers should anticipate moderate currents throughout the dive. Water temperatures remain consistent, ranging from 26 to 29 degrees Celsius year-round. Due to variable visibility, it is recommended to consult with a local dive operator for current conditions before planning a visit. The primary hazard at this site is the depth, necessitating strict adherence to safety procedures.
