Adventure Cook Islands is a local dive center, situated in front of Aroa Beach on the south-west coast of Rarotonga, in the Cook Islands. Specialized in small groups and personalized supervision, it offers half-day two-tank dives, leisure and technical training (PADI, SSI, TDI, SDI) as well as a complete infrastructure for rebreather divers (CCR).

Rarotonga is not a destination for large pelagics, but its preserved coral reefs, hundreds of tropical fish species, and clear waters make it a discreet gem of the South Pacific. Here, quality takes precedence over quantity — and dives often sell out. Book in advance.

My husband and two teen sons signed up for an introductory dive with Sandy. They had a fantastic time. Sandy was kind and patient, explaining all of the dive details and equipment. The dive happened directly across the street from the shop and it all felt very safe and controlled. The boys had a great time and left feeling confident with their new skills and knowledge. Thanks Sandy!!

We had great dive trips with Gary and Sandy. The smaller dive groups are great as well. They were friendly, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Making the booking was very easy as well with Patrick and the team assisting in surprising my fiancé with a second dive trip that she didn’t know about. Could not recommend these guys enough and will definitely be booking with them again when we return.

Enjoyed seeing lots of healthy coral, listening to the whales (only saw them from the boat but heard them while diving), and beautiful marine life during 2 different days of diving with Patrick and Gary. Booking and communicating with Patrick before the visit was quick and easy. Appreciated the small group and had no issues with my rental equipment. The last dive was a bit of a let down after being talked up: we were told there was a 99% chance to see a school of eagle rays after swimming through a cave and apparently we joined the 1% that day... not a ray in sight. Obviously out of the control of the guide, but there wasn't a whole lot more to see when rest of the dive was in the same area as the first dive that day.

I just completed my PADI Open Water certification. Huge thanks to the team: Patrick for his organisation, thoroughness and prompt responses. Gary for a good chat and laugh (oh yeah, and the boat rides). And most of all Sandy for her dive expertise. She's a patient and calm teacher. Highly recommended. Meitaki ma'ata!
