Bora Diving Center/Hotel Bora, August, June 1995, Mike Ciecierski. "Each dive $75 US. Water 82 degrees. 'Muri' outside the fringing reef. Vis 80'. Sloping hard coral/sand drop-off with plenty of fish. 'Manta Spot' inside the lagoon, again on hard coral. Vis 40'; two mantas. Had to climb into boat over the side. Hotel Bora is beautiful; premium over-water bungalows. Snorkeling off bungalow deck was as good as anywhere - tons of fish waiting for a handout."

Moorea Underwater Scuba Tahiti, March 1995, Don Richardson, Lawrence, KS. "Dive operators friendly, supportive, conscientious. Lots of raw sewage. Use eye and ear wash after dives."

Moorea Underwater Scuba Tahiti/Club Bali Hai, August 1995, Mike Ciecierski, Columbia, MD. "1-tank dive $60. Shark feed at 85' with owner Phillippe Molle holding a frozen 4' baitfish in his hand and feeding 10 black tip reef sharks, the biggest 5'. Larger lemon shark circled. Club Bali Hai on Cook's Bay."
