Overall Rating

Blue Nui Bora Bora is a good, professional organization but not long on
service.  We had to set up, tear down, and rinse all our gear for each
dive; they at least stored it for us.  We didn’t feel by any means that
there was the level of concern and service on the part of the general
staff we expect in the Caribbean or, say, Fiji.  The routine here is a
morning dive at about 8:30, a short surface interval, and another dive
before lunch.  The surface intervals of typically less than an hour were a
bit short for my taste, though our computers said they were OK.  The drill
is back roll in, fairly easy exit on a detachable ladder.  They were
flexible about how you got out—i.e. whether you want to take off your
fins, BC, etc. in the water or not.  Fish life was OK but not great for
the South Pacific; we saw lots of black tip sharks, some big Java moray
eels, Napoleonfish, dot-and-dash butterflies, and eagle rays.  There were
nice coral canyons & swim-throughs, but for reasons I don’t fully
understand there seems to be no soft coral in French Polynesia.  We did
see a few anemones and tomato anemone fish.
