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.
