Comments My wife and I did an 11 day cruise that started in Tahiti and ended in Hawaii. The cruise ship did not offer any diving excursions. We found a shop in Moorea that offered a 1 tank dive that worked into our port stop. Nemoz is a small operation. They provided transportation to and from the cruise drop off. We were able to rent gear, we did not take any of our own with the exception of our wrist computers. My regulator breathed a little harder than I am used to, but the gear was okay. On the way to the dive site, we saw a breaching whale, which was exciting. Upon entry, we saw a black tipped shark. We saw a large humphead wrasse, lots of green sea turtles, Moorish idols, raccoon butterfly fish, long nose butterfly fish, Clark's anemone fish and other tropical fish. There were a lot of crown of thorn's on the reef destroying the coral.

The dive shop staff were all helpful and nice. A little hard to communicate with since we don't speak French.

Our next port stop was at Raiatea. We did not get to dive there, however we did do a drift snorkel trip that was amazing. The amount of tropical fish and healthy coral was spectacular. It was like being in an aquarium.
