Default tahiti

Tahiti was so much better!!!! Sharks, Rays ,120ft viz! So many fish. So much life! It make the carrib look like a quarry dive. I went to Bora Bora, Good. Manihi, Better. Tikihau, Best!
I never had more then 6 people on the boat. At Bora Bora I was the only diver. You bet I requested a video of that dive. I was the STAR!!!.
I dream about going back. Do Bora Bora but the head off to the Tuamotu's. It's the trip of a lifetime.
Oh, did I mention the topside? Views, black pearls, over water bungalows and great food. It is French Polynesia!

I have mostly done Caribean diving & went to Tahait once as well.I happen to like Bonaire( been twice)a lot as well as Cozumel(several times) & belize (my best ever night dive) Nevertheless,Polynesia has larger schools,more exotic fish & is so beautiful. great drift dive in manihi. did not get to Rangiroa but is supposed to be great/

Default Diving In Indonesia

You guys should check out indo. It is absolutely amazing. If you want I can get a couple people to stay for 150 a night including room, food, boating and everything. Just let me know if that sounds good. shanetkendall@yahoo.com

Been to FP twice in the past three years, and many times to Caribbean, including Belize, Roatan, and Cozumel. I'd be off to French Polynesia in a HEARTBEAT.

thanks for your response...interesting that you posted today...I just made my reservations to go for 2 weeks in Feb.-1 week on Fakarava, the 2nd week Moorea...after trying to decide for months, actually, it just took me awhile to convince myself it would be worth the extra expense. Any hints or "must-see" items?
