According to Paul Ramos, manager of thirteen Top Dive diving clubs in Polynesia, he developed the idea to give couples the experience of a lifetime for just €2,700.
The newlyweds, Alexandra and Nicolas said that they were excited about getting married in such a unique way and wore white wedding diving outfits for their special ceremony.
"I guess it's like walking for the first time on the moon," said the groom, Nicolas.
Meanwhile, his bride's outfit was similar to an astronaut's space suit.

And unlike most brides, she did not have to worry about having the perfect bridal hairstyle because she had a helmet on her head.
The helmets had air pumping through them from the surface of the water, and just like any other wedding on dry land, an underwater photographer was on hand to capture every moment of the couple's big day.
The priest conducted the ceremony through headphones, which were also connected to the bride and groom.
The underwater chapel was marked by a curtain of bubbles around two armchairs Pomare - the Polynesian royal seats. At the moment that they had to say "I do" they did it by putting their thumbs-up.
Altogether, the ceremony lasted just 20 minutes.The couple then went on a bridal canoe and were serenaded by the priest who also knew how to play a ukulele as he sang a romantic song in Tahitian.
