    Diving in FP

    I dove Bora Bora and Moorea. Bora Bora had awesome manta ray dives. Moorea had shark dives. A dive site call the Tiki is famous for sharks. There probably wasn't less than 50 each day I dove there. The water around both islands is great. Very smooth.

    TopDive is probably the best operator in FP.

    Thumbs up Dove Moorea

    About 10 years ago I dove Moorea with ClubMed. Good sealife, lots of big fish. They only had air available then, I don't know about the availibility of Nitrox or other mixed gases. I'm sure there are websites that could detail alot more info. Great place!

    Bora Bora & Moorea

    I dove there May 2003 and they didn't have Nitrox. That was a bummer because most of my dives were around 80 feet.
