You read about wrecks and reefs but the walls were pristine!

Wow where do I begin. First off the waters were a chilly 83 to 85 degrees. Rangiroa and Fakarava are Atolls which are big oblong-ring shaped islands that have passes where the currents pass through when the tides change. The currents can be up to 10 knots or more. I had dives that I went more than two miles in just a few minutes. It was a world class express train. I dove with Top Dive in both locations, very good operation. Although the correct way to dive there would be a liveaboard. Unfortunately the Aggressor pulled out of the Tuamotu's and moved south in Tahiti to more mild diving.

One of the worlds greatest concentrations of naval wrecks await those with advanced skills and a deep pocketbook. Warm water and great vis provide spectacular wide angle shots of historic WWII vessels.

Moorea and Bora Bora diving. Sharks were the main viewing. I was not quite ready for 5 large lemon sharks within arms reach all at once and it was exciting!

We just got back from the Big Island and were terribly disappointed for the first time in a Kona dive operator. Just wanted to warn all of you.
