I would do the liveaboard without question. The T&C Aggressor was my first live-aboard trip and is to this day my favourite diving vacation. They should take you to the areas that are normally well out of reach from a vacation on Provo. We had lots of sharks, rays, dolphins and turtles. I think...

I agree...it is worth it to pay extra to go to the dive sites at West Caicos and French Cay.

I was on the Peter Hughes boat in Belize the week before it sank and I think this comment is very unfair to the company. We spoke personally with a surviving crew member after the terrible accident. We had known 2 of the crew members who died in the accident. The crews of both the Aggressor and...

I would definately choose the liveaboard if I had the chance. My husband and I travelled around French Polynesia for over 30 days in September. One regret we have is that we did not do the liveaboard. By the time we booked our trip, the Aggressor was sold out : ( If you don't speak french I...

Thanks for the feedback! Only 25 days to go! I normally dive in the Carribbean with a Henderson Microprene. When we go on live-aboard trips I start to get cold in the second day because we usually do the full offering of 4 - 5 dives per day. I expect the most we'll be doing on this trip will...

I'm going to French Polynesia for my honeymoon. We'll be there for 32 days....trip of a lifetime and we can't wait! We'll be diving in Bora Bora, Moorea, Manihi, Fakarava, Nuka Hiva and snorkelling in Rurutu. What 1 exposure suit would you bring? Also, I've read that the limit on bringing...

My fiance and I are going to FP for our honeymoon in September! 32 days of paradise. We're going to Moorea, Bora Bora, Manihi, Fakarava, Rurutu, and Nuka Hiva. If we go to the site with the Tiki, I'll snap a shot for you! 41 days till we leave!:)

I'm looking for information about diving in Fiji. Anyone have any experience? I've heard Taveuni is good and that Jacques Cousteau's place is over-rated. Has anyone been on the Fiji Aggressor II (Sere Ni Wai)?

We have spreadsheets out the wazoo to calculate every possible expenditure. Our 1 month FP trip started at about $20, but is going over $30 :wacko: It makes us stop to think if it's worth it! Perhaps there is some other place we should be thinking about as Canadians...one where our dollar...

Nice pictures by the way! I just took a few minutes to watch the show. What type of camera do you use?

dive_girl, I sent a message to you in another forum about food. So, you're thinking of going back to FP in September...that's when I'm planning to be there on our honeymoon! We're planning to stay at Pension Havaiki in Fakarava and Pension Mave Mae in Nuka Hiva. Both at the recommendation...

Jimini, this sounds like a great trip that you took. Maybe I should reconsider mine to French Polynesia. May I ask who you booked your trip through? We're having a tough time trying to get our trip organized. thanks

dive_girl Can you expand on your comments about the crappy food you experienced in FP? I'm going there in September if all goes well. We're not buying a meal plan, but we were expecting the food we do get to be good! Do you like seafood? I hear that's the main fare over there. Can you tell...

Dreamin': Where did you stay in Bora Bora and Manihi? I'm assuming the Pearl Beach Resorts? I've read some nightmare stories about the Eden Beach in Bora Bora on this site, but someone we know is saying that it is OK. We're planning a trip to Bora Bora, Moorea, Manihi, Fakarava, Rurutu...

My finance and I are also from Canada and planning a 1 month honeymoon trip to French Polynesia. Your budget is right on track when you consider the Canadian dollar. Our 1 month plan has us spending quite a bit.... There are packages out there, but most of them involve staying at the highest...

As I mentioned, I have a Sea & Sea MMIIex that I bought as a package with the YS60 strobe and the old sea arm. I also have the 16mm wide angle lens that I've rarely used. I'm going to French Polynesia in August and am hoping for some encounters with humpbacks, sharks, and mantas. Looking...

Anthony's Key seemed like a really nice place. We stayed at Fantasy Island and as soon as we saw AKR, we wished we had stayed there instead. We did a dolphin dive there, which was great. Definately take the bug juice! Shark dive is also worth looking into. It wasn't through AKR. It was at...

My fiance and I went to Fantasy Island last February. It was very nice, but very isolated. There is a beach which is OK. One thing I did not like about Roatan in general were all of the biting insects. I had something like 140 bites that I could see (plus the ones on my back). Diving was...

I went to Roatan last February, but all I'm aware of is Fantasy Island and Anthony's Key. We stayed at Fantasy Island, but if I were to go back, I would stay at Anthony's Key. There seemed to be more to do on that side of the island (plus the resort seemed much nicer). Even though we stayed...
