Dives

We decided to get certified to dive before we went to French Polynesia. We hoped to dive a couple of times while we were there and ended up doing a lot more. We met some great people that are a lot more experienced divers, and we joined up with them for dives. We dived on Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea and Bora Bora!

Moorea: Our first dives outside of Saguaro Lake, AZ. We dived at Bathy's Club, at the Beachcomber Hotel.

Huahine: We dived at Pacific Blue Dive Center. The clearest water and best dive was here. We did 2 dives with Kim and Dale.

Raiatea: We dived with Raiatea Plongee. A bit frugal of an operation, but the Divemaster, Daniel, takes his dog "Pig Dog" along. We dove with Jarrett and Pat from Texas.

Bora Bora: We dived at Top Dive. We did 3 dives here, one outside the reef, one inside, where we saw Manta Rays, and a night dive. We dove with a whole group, Paige, Lee, Jarrett, Pat, Kim, and Dale.

We went on a snorkel expedition with Renaissance. It included a shark feed, snorkeling on the reef, and then a visit to the Sting Rays.
