Deep Blue Diving started with Sam Tatafu. He was a former Lieutenant Commander in the Tonga Navy. He noticed more and more humpback whales between ʻEua and Tongatapu. In 2006, Sam pioneered the first whale watch and swim operation in Tongatapu.
With Deep Blue Diving you can experience Tonga’s beauty. This family-run operation has 17 years of experience. They have over 30 years of local knowledge.
What makes Deep Blue Diving special? They believe Tonga’s waters offer unique whale encounters. There are fewer boats. Lower engine speeds are used. This creates less disturbance for the whales. The whales feel more relaxed and inviting.
Tongatapu’s waters are shallow and calm. Guests can often see the ocean floor. This creates a safe environment. Mothers feel secure with their calves nearby. This results in calm and unforgettable experiences.
