Thumbs up Re: French Polynesia & Newbie diving advice & recs?

First of all let me tell you that I envy you for going to paradise!

I was in French Polynesia for a month in 2002 and it was amazing!

The best dive I ever did was in Tiki Point Moorea with a dive club called Bathy's dive club! Its run by a french guy which I have forgotten his name but the club is found in the Moorea inter continental hotel!
The above dive is a dive with 100 sharks! Very safe and beautiful dive (visibility was about 50m)!

The second dive that I had in French Polynesia was a dive in Bora Bora - The dive is called Manta ray dive and you can see at least five huge Manta's in the lagoon!! I don't remember the dive clubs name but their equipment wasn't good anyway ( I ran out of air and my partners octupus didn't work!!!) Always check equipment before you dive!!! (visibility was about 20m)

The third dive I had in Bora Bora was with Lemon sharks and we also got to see other big Pelagics as well- This dive was outside the lagoon and was very beautiful! Visibility was about 40m!)

My friend and I dived all the above dives without a wetsuit and we didn't feel cold but the rest fo the divers did wear wetsuits which were supplied by the dive club!!!

Have fun and if you need recommendations for the best budget hotels in the best locations contact me!
