Bora Bora is a small example of how sites change can dramatically (usually for the worse) in very short period; no matter the cause, fishing, pollution, major storms, geologic or political events. It might be wise for all divers to adapt a "window" approach to the their dream trip(s). If the window is open today don't count on it next year. The world is very dynamic and things change.
I've been fortunate to dive some beautiful, magic sites which are sadly now only existent in my memory, some will come back but may take decades, those windows are closed for me.
I really wanted to dive the WW2 wrecks in Rabaul, but the volcano closed that window for me. I really want dive Socotra Island, but pirates make that too dangerous to try, Bikini now no ops on the island, the list goes on.
