Marina water sports
The Paul Gauguin's stern has a built-in retractable water sport platform. It's lowered to sea level when the ship is anchored in port - and, whiff, you have a marina dock.
From it, you can launch a windsurfer or two-person kayak - or begin your snorkeling or waterskiing adventure without ever going to shore. All the above is free.
The marina staff will fit you for snorkeling gear (mask, snorkel and fins). They lend it to you free of charge for the duration of the cruise for your marina and shore-excursion use.
For a fee, you can scuba-dive. Certified? Marina dive masters take you on expeditions to interesting coral reefs. Neophyte? The marina has PADI certified instructors.
