I'm so confused! It's very early in the morning and I cannot even figure out how to make a new post and I am desperate, so I am going to try on this thread (with apologies in advance).
This is the least prepared I have ever been for a trip. I am embarrassed to even let this one out! My bags are packed and by the door. My flight to LAX leaves at 6 pm. I have done almost no research into diving in this region. We were invited to join some friends on a Moorings catamaran for 10 nights and then 2 nights on Papeete. My husband just got OW certified three weeks ago, so absolute beginner. I am Rescue certified and have 100 + dives. We are the only divers on the trip and since we are "tagalongs'" the trip was definitely not planned around the best diving. After reading through these threads, I am wondering if I should leave the dive bag at home and just snorkel (which breaks my heart; I may never make it back to this part of the world). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
We could dive Huahine, Bora Bora, Raiatea and then from Papeete upon our return. I have figured out which dive operation to avoid, but the reports on the condition of the reefs are scaring me. Dive or no dive???
