Overall Rating

The Tahiti Aggressor is a great way to dive the area around Rangiroa, which
has the best diving in French Polynesia. The boat is a catamaran, so
there's lots of space, but watch out for cabin #9, which used to be the
darkroom--cramped, no windows. They're supposed to give a discount for
staying in this room.

This is pass diving; the current was really ripping sometimes, but overall
the currents was not as strong as we expected. Everyone is issued a safety
sausage and airhorn. The coral is healthy but very low due to the current.
There were only one or two dives we did not see sharks. Lots of fish life,
not so many invertebrates. A few mantas, dolphins underwater several times,
saw a huge hammerhead cruising beneath us at 150'. 

Arrive in Papeete a day early and walk or take "Le Truck" into
town to see the waterfront and especially the local fish market. Wonderful
batik fabrics in the stores. Bring something for seasickness, as some of
the crossing are long, and a catamaran is not very stable in open ocean. 
We would definitely do this trip again.
