Why I want to go to this place

I would love to go to the French Polynesia, especially to Tahiti. Not so much to see the beaches but for scuba diving. I love scuba diving, and I have read that this is the best place to do it. The water is translucid, there are many sea creatures and corals.
If I went there, I would swim and dive all day.

A tip I have about this place

Don’t attempt to use American ATM cards. I was there one evening, had fun locally with some passengers, but no real stories to tell.

Moorea Honeymoon

I’ve just returned from our honeymoon on the island of Moorea (the island next to Tahiti). We spent a little bit of time at the airport on Tahiti but the rest of our week was spent on Moorea and it was fabulous. From what I got to see of Tahiti, it appears to be very commercialized and built-up. Moorea, on the other hand, is just a few minutes away and the largest building I saw was two stories and the biggest road was two-laned and full of pot-holes. I can’t begin to express how beautiful this island was, but you can get an idea by looking at our honeymoon pictures .

Why I want to go to this place

The bf and I are planning a Tahitian vacation for this fall. Still researching places to stay/things to do. We know for sure that we want to scuba. He’s already PADI certified and I’m looking into getting certified stateside before we go.

We are also into getting off of the beaten path. We very much want to get to see some of the smaller, more remote islands. Any advice on great dive sites or other cool things to do?

Loved Bora Bora, the water is literally three to four shades of blue and green. Honest, photos you see are not retouched, those are true colors. Just watch out for the coral reefs…yikes!!!
