Seems I might get addicted then if FP is that good for diving! So have been busy trying to work out my plans for this trip. On the dive front, unfortunately I need to squeeze the certifications in there, burning a couple of days. So what do you guys reckon I pick: - The Padi Scuba Diving...

Bit to think about here. I'm leaning towards not taking a camera on the dives - due to high price and low experience. Naturally I'm worried I'll wish I had photos of this or that, but I don't want to detract from the dives given I'll be new to it. But I still would like something to get some...

Hey all! Glad to have found a forum to educate myself on :) I have a trip planned island hopping through French Polynesia. Apparently some awesome diving to be done over there, so am spending lots of time researching. Have never dived before, but feel like this could become quite a hobby...
